Not sure, but here's a news story about Guenther Steiner's radio messages:

Sorry to disappoint you but it's fake. It was from way back when he was telling K-Mag or RoGro to shut up.

THis made me snigger. It seems Mazespin has a sense of humour, even when Gunther takes the piss in a video clip.
This link is the video.... https://www.instagram.com/p/CQnkef4gxv9

https://www.gpfans.com/en/f1-news/66764 ... n-steiner/Guenther Steiner believes he has proven Nikita Mazepin is not a "miserable young man" after the Russian displayed his sense of humour in accepting an unusual gift.
Mazepin has faced an uphill battle to win fans over during his rookie F1 season, in particular, given his off-track antics and incidents in the opening races, including a number of spins that quickly earned him the nickname 'Mazespin'.
That resulted in Steiner presenting Mazepin with his own 'Maze-spin' spinning top during the course of the Styrian Grand Prix weekend.
Asked if it had been difficult to convince him to take part in the video, Steiner replied: "He was not uncomfortable, he was pretty happy.
"There is a happy Nikita Mazepin as well, you know. You all think he is an unhappy kid, he is this miserable young man but he has a good sense of humour."
Suggesting Mazepin has become accustomed "to the social media storm", Steiner added: "He was on the wrong side at some stage.
"In the end, as I say, social media can be good and bad to you. It was an idea in the team to do this to him and then we did it."
Steiner felt it was pleasing to be able to use social media to promote Mazepin in a positive and "funny" light.
"It seems to be everything on social media about Nikita is about bad things," said Steiner.
"There can be also good things. Try to use it to your advantage and get away from the naysayers."

Two things are clear:
I wouldn't want Mazespin as my driver.
And I wouldn't want Gunther as my boss.

Something strange happened over the weekend...... for only the second time this year Nicky Temazepam actually beat Chin Jnr.
It seems Jnr isnt that impressed, and believes Nicky has a secret tyre warm up which makes for better tyre management.

https://www.racefans.net/2021/07/20/rac ... p-20-07-4/Schumacher wants to understand Mazepin’s tyre management advantage
Mick Schumacher is looking to learn from his Haas team mate Nikita Mazepin after observing his tyre management early in the British Grand Prix.
“We were unfortunately struggling a bit with both [compounds of] tyres,” said Schumacher. “And I think the approach that we had, we will probably just have to learn from it and try and get back stronger and better person.
“We as a team were trying to not overheat the tyres in the first three laps. And it seems like Nikita was pushing a bit harder in the first few laps and still managed to to keep his tyres in the window. So that’s something I’ll have to analyse why and how, because there was a lot of margin for me to go faster.”

To be fair to Mazespin, it wasn't *that* uncommon for him to finish ahead of Junior in F2. Mick might be a better driver on balance, but they're not worlds apart.Everso Biggyballies wrote: ↑2 years ago Something strange happened over the weekend...... for only the second time this year Nicky Temazepam actually beat Chin Jnr.

I thought the Haas team cant do without the $$$ from their two rookies, to the point that Nicky T and Chin Jnr had been verbally confirmed as likely to be hanging around, and Haas continuing as is. In fact I believe Nicky T actually has a contract
