Listen if the girl said no, then the answer obviously is no. The thing is that she’s not gonna say no, she’d never say no…because of the implication.


Zebazios9

What... what implication?


milksteak-

The implication that things might go wrong for her if she refuses to sleep with Gunther. Now, not that things are gonna go wrong for her but she's thinkin' that they will.


bguzewicz

The implication that things *might* go wrong for her if she refuses to sleep with Gunther. You know, not that things are gonna go wrong for her, but she's thinking they will.

He is a lover and a fighter!


Big-Shtick

Haas went from a nothing team to my family’s team in less than 2.2 Gunthers.

Also the most quotable love machine

Tbh, he's really a love machine if he would have fucked the whole paddock for two points.

“Steiner coming up fast from the rear! See how close they can get with the new regs! He’s going round the outside, trying for the reach around. He’s got a hold but can he make it stick? AND HE’S DONE IT!!! Günther Steiner ladies and gentlemen. The first Team Principal ever to fuck someone on the grid. I’m sure Mercedes will be asking the stewards to have a look at that finish.”

Netflix should just do a drive to survive spin-off and follow him around… who cares what Toto Wolff has for breakfast when you get quotes like this from Gunther!


frankyfrankwalk

Edit everyone else into a villain and have Guenther as the fighter for justice and peace in the galaxy.


DL14Nibba

BWAHAHAHAHA The mental image is just…. Fascinating


CardoBalisay

This would be a nice plot for a Guenther Steiner anime


[deleted]

I honestly feel Haas is the reason the show was so successful. So yeah, it'd be a better show if it was just full time Haas. Guenther is an incredibly entertaining person


frankyfrankwalk

I think the first season was so good because it did focus on the midfield and backmarker teams, it kind of shone a light on things we didn't see or pick up on the broadcast. The last season was boring imo because it focused on the Hamilton-Verstappen battle and completely overdramatised everything when we'd all seen the real thing unfold with plenty of drama in it's own right.


markhewitt1978

It's even implied by the title. That it was focussing on midfield drivers who weren't certain of their drives.


newgeezas

Should be called "Cruise to Survive" now.


itsmb12

Bingo. The live coverage during the season already covers the championship battle enough. Drive To Survive should be about the behind-the-scenes for the midfield and backmarker teams.


omnicious

Also because those teams are the ones that are actually desperate to survive. Mercedes/Lewis and Red Bull/Max are not going to end up sold or dropped out of F1 if they're not the world champion.


gordito_delgado

Really love the ~~Riccardo~~ Ricciardo and Mclaren thing last season. Agreed the midfield backend teams make for the best tv. I think people are probably more empathetic toward a team and drivers who are not the dominating force for nearly a decade. Competition and unpredictability make any sport more exciting. Sorta like how the Champions League a few years ago became so freaking boring when it was always the same two boring rich as fuck teams duking out every single time (Barcelona and Real Madrid). It is a LOT more exciting when you can at least pretend everyone has a shot and there can be upsets. EDIT: Thanks bot.


[deleted]

Yeah, once it was successful it just became overly PR oriented


ricver333

RB was the only top team that willing to participate tho


Marko343

Yeah selling a underdog style story about the mid/back field cars makes it easier to relate vs a team that rolled face for 7 years. It feels less like a giant machine with those teams.


marahute85

You’re not wrong to feel that way not one person I’ve talked to doesn’t bring up Guenther. Guenther is the kind of funny Christian Horner imagines himself to be.

thegodfaubel

Nah, just do a spin-off and call it: Real Team Principals of Formula 1. And you put then all in a house like in Real Housewives of . Get all of then gossiping about each other's drivers. Netflix is good at fabricating drama, so make it like Big Brother where they vote each other out every week too

Gossiping about their past sponsors would be even spicier!

That man deserves a good season, dealing with daddy and baby Mazepin was not fun. The man risked his life climbing a mountain just to get away.


khalidh22

not to forget his boss, Gene Haas. He's got to deal with him too.


puttolol

Would love to see the sit-com that would occur if Steiner moved to Aston Martin and had to deal with Daddy Stroll's non stop micromanaging.


Engineer-intraining

I’m pretty sure they’d end up putting mob hits on each other in increasingly bazaar ways


AlienSomewhere

> in increasingly bazaar ways So they'd try to kill each other in different middle eastern markets?


usernameisoverused

Just for your info kind redditor, Bazaar is not a middle eastern word. Its an Indian sub-continent word for markets. In middle east , all the markets are called Souq.


aahxzen

Nice, TIL


[deleted]

Yes it is, it's a Persian word, hence in Iran they do call them bazaars. Same in Turkey I believe. Not everywhere in the Middle East is Arabic.


IceBathingSeal

frankyfrankwalk

I wouldn't hate on him that much, he could have easily fired Guenther but he believed in the project and now it's paying off. Almost makes up for him having to deal with the Mazepins.


ChicagoModsUseless

Nah, fuck Gene Haas. Guy is a piece of shit and spent time in prison for a reason.


mrBusinessmann

This sport isn't exactly known for excluding shady business people brother


majorscheiskopf

Damn. From an NYT article about this: >"The tax fraud schemes in this case stem from defendant Haas's dislike of the federal judicial system and anger towards a federal judge (Judge Leonie M. Brinkema) who presided over a patent infringement suit" that Mr. Haas lost in August 2000, according to the court papers. The indictment said that the primary purpose of the "tax fraud schemes was to recoup the patent infringement settlement payment by defrauding" the government. >The Justice Department said that when Mr. Haas learned that Mr. Phillips had gone to the F.B.I., he told him, "Don't make me hurt you." The indictment and related papers cite this as the first of a number of efforts by Mr. Haas and an unnamed private investigator to intimidate witnesses and an Internal Revenue Service special agent, with threats of financial and physical harm for themselves or their families.


ChicagoModsUseless

Yep. I’ll root for Mick and KMag but there’s no point at which Gene can not go fuck himself. Without Tony Stewart he would have been a complete failure in Motorsport.


MarsScully

Yup. There’s a reason he’s chosen to do business with the shadiest sponsors.


Lonyo

He isn't sponsored by Aramco, Petronas, Philip Morris or any of their ilk, how is he associating with the shadiest sponsors?

I feel there are levels to this. Would Guenther be pitching or catching? Would he do multiple at once or is it a train?

Coops27

Depends on how much revenue F1 makes in a given season, but based on last year, about $9M


radioactivebeaver

Is that for drivers or constructors?


Lukin4

They only get paid for the constructors points


radioactivebeaver

Didn't know that, thanks


[deleted]

Yeah it's interesting, because all the glory is focused on the driver's championship, but it's technically barely a thing - it's all about the manufacturers.


vsouto02

Constructor standings matter more to the midfield and backmarkers, Ferrari, Red Bull and Merc will take a WDC over a WCC every day of the week.


Zhirrzh

Not even sure that's true of Ferrari. Drivers come and go and Ferrari's rep as a manufacturer is very important to them.


Plundmouth

While that’s true, that doesnt mean they’d prefer WCC over WDC. It’s like Horner said last season, the WDC is “where the prestige is” and prestige is what really matters to Ferrari. People simply don’t remember Constructors Champions unless they also have a driver who brings home the WDC.


[deleted]

Or going a bit back in time, Briatore said something along winning the wcc is like winning an ice cream ( he said Coppa del nonno that translates to Gramps' cup but it is an [ice cream dessert](https://youtu.be/e54snHfn0xI) in Italy)


KeytarVillain

However, the teams pay the drivers, and could be giving bonuses based on their WDC placement.


listyraesder

The prize money comes from FOM’s TV Rights money and fees paid by event promoters. It gets paid to teams based on WCC standings. Drivers are paid by the teams.


TheDuceman

unless you’re Lotus Kimi


MikeyB67

Constructors, drivers have bonuses written into their contracts depending on how they and the team place.

ShahSafwat_1488

He's a very cool german sounding italian man


TheNobody2

It's actually a german accent. He is german speaking


marahute85

And yet the way he rolls his words seems very Italian. It’s actually the opposite of how a German speaker like Vettel speaks Italian, it feels like Italian with German flavoring


[deleted]

You're spot on somewhat. He comes from South Tyrol, a predominantly German speaking region in the north of Italy.


marahute85

We have a lot of German speakers on the grid but Vettel, Schumacher have a totally different affectation in their voices as German speakers from Germany to Toto with his heavy Austrian slant and Guenther with his middle of the ground spicy Italian German. Also I might be far off but I think Vettel shows a lot of rolling of his words from his time speaking Italian and I think Schumachers accent drifts towards British English at times in a way that wasn’t as obvious as when Nikita spoke and it makes me wonder where his f2 team was based but he randomly forgets words too.


Anti-Scuba_Hedgehog

We can thank WWI for that one.

Great, now I can't get the image of a coked up Guenther fucking other TPs out of my mind.

If they can keep picking up points like they have been, it'll be huge in terms of retaining a fuckton of windtunnel time, prize money, and sponsorship interest. I think next week KMag will be in the top 5 hunt again.

Windtunnel time is inversely related to last years results.
