JONATHAN MCEVOY: BY JONATHAN MCEVOY (exclusive interview): For a long time, no one really knew Guenther Steiner. He was a Formula One backwoodsman.

Guenther was not aware of the crash, but he learned about the group around him, and we quietly swapped positions in the queue so he was just marginally more obscured from view. This is what Netflix has done to him. The Haas team principal is known for his straight-talking and, more accurately, expletive-riddled demeanour, and he is a hostage to fame wherever he goes.
