Guenther Steiner, former Haas F1 team principal and Netflix sensation, will hit the stage at the Civic Theatre in Newcastle next week as part of his Unfiltered LIVE tour. Here’s what to expect.
Fans of Formula 1 and Drive to Survive alike can expect an unfiltered, brutally honest, and often hilarious deep dive into the world of high-stakes motorsport, with Steiner sharing anecdotes from his decades in the industry.
Steiner will lift the curtain on his career, from his early days in rally racing to his pivotal role in establishing Haas as a competitive force in Formula 1.
Audiences can anticipate behind-the-scenes stories about the challenges of managing iconic drivers like Colin McRae and Carlos Sainz Sr., his introduction to F1 through Niki Lauda, and the trials of securing an F1 license for Haas.
With his trademark wit, he will also delve into the drama surrounding Russian investment in the team, his evolving relationship with Haas owner Gene Haas, and the decision that ultimately led him to walk away from the sport.
The evening promises to be a rollercoaster ride through the fast-paced world of Formula 1, with Steiner addressing topics such as the intense pressures of running a team, balancing finances, hiring and firing drivers, and the never-ending battle to improve car performance. He will also reveal why, despite being a key figure in Netflix’s Drive to Survive, he has never actually watched the show. And for movie buffs, there’s an added bonus – Steiner recently filmed a cameo in the upcoming Formula 1 movie starring Brad Pitt.
For those looking for an even more exclusive experience, VIP ticket holders will enjoy a post-show meet and greet with Steiner, a signed copy of his book Surviving to Drive, a VIP lanyard, and complimentary canapés and beverages.
Guenther Steiner: Unfiltered LIVE will hit the stage at Civic Theatre Newcastle on 11 March 2025. For tickets and information visit civictheatrenewcastle.com.au.
