Steiner often says 'f*ck': 'Some sort of instability in my brain'

Within the Netflix series Drive to Survive, Steiner is a big hit. The team boss does not mince words and that makes him one of the stars of the series. Statements like 'we look like a bunch of wankers' went viral in recent years. Certain quotes by Steiner were even printed on t-shirts.

In an interview with GP Racing, Steiner says he is not going to and does not want to change. "I am who I am, and I don't want to change. Why should I. Whatever I do in life? I want to say real to me. I don't need to change. I'm good. I mean, I can learn, I can try to do things better in the future. But my personality - no, I don't want to change. I was always a little bit like this: I do what I like to do, and they I like to do it."

The 57-year-old top executive then comes up with a wise lesson: "Sometimes it's better if everyone thinks you're an idiot. Because when they underestimate you, you can do your job better," he laughs. And why he says 'f*ck' so often? "I don't know why I say 'f*cck' that often. It comes out automatically. I think I've got something in my brain, some sort of instability, that that word always comes out."
