Surviving to Drive: The No. 1 Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

As a positiv I really enjoyed the "side/ stories from the past". They gave an interesting insight into how you become an TP and how to work your way up the motorsport ladder. We have a bigger sponsor with Moneygram and we have got out of a tough place [after Covid] in 2020 pretty good. But, for sure, the drivers are part of it.”

Than of course Mazepin and Uralkali had to go with the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.If you follow Formula 1, and particularly Guenther Steiner, you'll probably know what to expect from this book. This is amazing. Guenther has a hilarious sense of humour, and I found myself laughing throughout 😆 It's such an easy read and gives such an insight into a year in the life of f1 drivers and team principals. Surviving to Drive—a not-so-subtle linguistic twist on Drive to Survive—is the most anticipated Formula 1 book in some time.

Already a pivot of the Netflix series, Haas F1 boss Guenther Steiner now lets loose in his entertaining diary of 2022 Fans of the series will love this canter through an eventful season which brings them closer to the characters they see on TV. Even those who have never watched the show (like Steiner himself, or so he claims) will warm to the engaging boss of Haas.

I didn’t try to do this. It just happened. If they feel happy, I’m happy for them," said Steiner. In Surviving to Drive, the Haas team principal takes readers inside his Formula 1 team for the entirety of the 2022 season, giving an unobstructed view of what really takes place behind the scenes. Through this unique lens, Guenther takes us on the thrilling rollercoaster of life at the heart of high stakes motor racing. As fun as I see it is to make a inside DTS joke But honestly after the 5000 fok it just got annoying. Gernerally the "fun guentherism" words just got on my nerve. Have the German media forgiven him for casting Schumacher aside – especially as he is the son of a legendary world champion? “I don’t need to be forgiven. I don’t feel guilty. I gave somebody a good chance so why should I feel I did wrong?” If they like it, what I do, it means that I entertain them and they love it because they spend money to put my face on their chests. When I see it, it still amazes me."

Guenther Steiner is a very fun narrator and his spelling of certain words (fok, jeezuz christ, etc.) is also pretty hilarious. The book feels a little harebrained, and it feels more like the diary entries of an overworked team principal that have been tied together as a whole. The book promises to be “uncompromising and searingly honest, told in Steiner’s inimitable style” and give fans a look at the inner-workings of an F1 team from the view of a team principal.This was SUCH an easy read. Even if you’re not heavily in to Formula 1, I still think this would be an interesting insight into how it all works and understand the struggles and challenges they face. Especially since it’s all told from the mind and eyes of Guenther Steiner. He is absolutely hilarious and just seems so genuine. A jaw-dropping account of a year inside Formula 1, from Haas team principal and breakout star of the wildly successful Netflix series Drive to Survive, Guenther Steiner. This is the first ever behind the scenes record of a full Formula 1 season from the perspective of an acting team principal. Fearless and candid, Surviving to Drive reads like the night-time confessions of a football manager who is fighting to stay in the Premier League. A gleeful guide to a bonkers sport from a loveable rogue insider. Melanie Reid, The Times

Guenther Steiner has been the unlikely breakout star of the show and this book aims to cement his celebrity via a diary-style romp through the 2022 season. Guenther Steiner is an Italian motorsport engineer and team manager. He is the current team principal of the Haas Formula One Team, and the previous managing director of Jaguar Racing and technical operations director of its subsequent incarnation, Red Bull Racing. In 2014, Guenther persuaded Gene Haas, owner of Haas Automation and NASCAR championship winning team Stewart-Haas Racing, to enter Formula 1. Literally get me an interview with Guenther. Two aries in front of a camera, I promise it'll be a good time. If you put Oscar on there too, you'll have three aries. With all our different personalities it's bound to be chaos. Written in Steiner’s voice the stylized ‘fok’ and ‘jeezos’ can become a little grating through the course of the year, but conversely it does add to the individualistic aura of the book and remind you this is Steiner and no one else.Surviving to drive biedt een kijkje in de keuken van hoe je als teambaas moet opereren. Heel interessant voor alle F1 fans, ook als je nog niet zo fan bent van Haas. Steiner is een sympathieke kerel en ik moest regelmatig lachen om zijn ongefilterde blik op zaken.
