How Steiner is preparing for his FOX TV booth debut as analyst for NASCAR Cup race at Circuit of the Americas
Haas F1 team principal Guenther Steiner will serve as a guest analyst for FOX Sports’ telecast.
With former F1 champions Kimi Raikkonen and Jenson Button taking part in this Sunday’s NASCAR Cup event at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, Steiner will serve as a guest analyst for FOX Sports’ telecast. “When I get there in the booth, I've never done but I’ve done interviews and all the all the other stuff. For sure, there will be a little bit of, I don’t know, if the butterflies are coming in. But I like that feeling of doing something new.”Chris GraythenA native of Italy, Steiner and his wife have lived in Charlotte for nearly 17 years. Working for Haas F1, he had a lot of previous exposure with both Kimi and Jenson, but he’s also no stranger to the NASCAR Cup world.
Raikkonen already has two NASCAR starts under his belt, a 27th-place finish in a 2011 Xfinity Series race at Charlotte, and wrecked out halfway through last year’s Cup race at Watkins Glen, finishing 37th.Jenson Button will bring bringing a wealth of racing knowledge to the Cup Series this weekend.“Kimi knows what he’s getting into,” Steiner said. “But I think I can explain a little bit to the spectators how they're feeling because the cars are so very different.
“I mean, it's very difficult to do and you need more than one race to do that. I would say they could call it a success if they end up in the top 10. That will be very successful, but winning will be very difficult because these are completely different machines and completely different events. Obviously, they are very talented drivers, but the machinery they are using, it's very different.
