F1 News: Guenther Steiner Reveals His Supercar Secret After Haas Exit

"My living room back in Italy was smaller than the Toyota Tundra", said the former Haas team boss.

Despite his recent departure from the role of Team Principal at Haas F1, Guenther Steiner made a surprising revelation in a video on Mat Armstrong's YouTube channel. Contrary to what one might expect from a figurehead in Formula 1, Steiner disclosed that he does not own a supercar. Instead, he opts for a more unconventional choice in the motorsport world: a Toyota Tundra pickup truck.

When prompted by the YouTuber about his possession of a sports car, Steiner immediately refuted the assumption. Upon further inquiry, he candidly admitted his preference for the Toyota Tundra, highlighting Steiner's unique personal preference.

"Should I tell you?" the former team principle teased when asked by Mat. "A Toyota Tundra.

"I live in the States you know."

Connecting the dots, Mat then asked him if that was his daily driver. Stainer answered that he loved the truck for its size. He said:

"Yes, because I'm there so little. I love it, you know. When I moved to the States, it's like: my living room back in Italy was smaller than the Toyota Tundra."

Steiner did however disclose that he had owned a Porsche:

"I was owned a Porsche but that was a long time ago - eighteen years ago - but no since then, no supercars anymore.

"You know, cannot afford them, not like you. 

"I like your Lambo". 

Haas ended its journey with Steiner last week on performance grounds, as per team owner Gene Haas. However, several personalities in Formula 1 expressed that the fame Steiner received through Netflix's docuseries on F1 called Drive to Survive came in the way of his role with the American team.
