In response to Ecclestone’s comment, Steiner brushed off concerns about his popularity, particularly highlighting his appearance in the popular Netflix documentary series Drive to Survive.
“I never set out to become popular,” Steiner affirmed. “Whether people like me or not has never been a major concern for me. However, I understand that my popularity can have a positive impact on Formula 1, Haas, and even myself at times. We have to respect the fans because, without them, the sport wouldn’t exist.”
