Chairman of FIA Stewards reveals the one F1 team boss “you don’t want to cross”

The Haas team principal’s foul-⛄mouth outbursts🌺 and fiery personality has made him a popular character in the paddock, especially since his fame grew from Netflix’s Drive To Survive.
Unless, of course, you🥀 are an FIA steward disciplining Steiner during a race weekend!
“What a character he is,” said Tim M♊ayer on the . 🌺;
“I can♔ tell you, you do not want to cross him in the stewards’ room!
“I’v✱e had it full bore from him 💃in Monaco! I was the steward there.
“I don’t get mad at him when he’s swearing at me and♋ calling me all kinds of names in the stewards’ room.
“I just have to remind myself it’s all passion.”

Steiner and Ma♏yer clashed at the Monaco Grand Prix after Ha♊as driver Nico Hulkenberg was hit with a time penalty.
But Steiner also has a softer side.
Last weekend at the United States Grand Pr🎀ix, he spent time meeting volunteer marshals.
“Thursday, off his own back, he went up to meet all the marshals,” Mayer exp💮lained.
“He s🌳pent nearly an hour with the marshals up there.&nbs꧑p;
“Just absolutely won𓃲derful, signed autographs, made jokes. He was just absolutely fantastic.
“The marshals volunteer, they put in their hard w🔯ork. And it’s been quite a huge thing for him to come out and see all those people. Makes a big difference.”
