An Evening with Guenther Steiner - No Team Orders

Darwin City, NT

8 Dec 2026

Guenther Steiner has always been Formula 1's most refreshing voice: far more likely to be censored by the broadcasters than to censor himself. The breakout star of Drive to Survive, a team boss whose charm and no-bull honesty won him millions of fans around the globe, is back on stage with his new live show No Team Orders, just days after the chequered flag falls on the most divisive season in a generation. A radical new technical formula, new teams on the grid, and ambitious young talent challenging the veterans for primacy: 2026 rewrote Formula 1, and the dust will barely have settled when Guenther lands in town. Few people are better placed to unpack the season than Guenther Steiner. Who really mastered the new rules? Which rookie proved the genuine article? Will more Grands Prix be cancelled? Is Christian Horner really coming back in 2027? You can also take the opportunity to ask your own questions of Guenther in the live audience Q&A. One night of infectiously funny candour with motorsport's most quotable man, serving the laughs and inside lines that will make you the most entertaining F1 expert at every Christmas party.
