#1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER • A high-octane, no-holds-barred account of a year inside Formula 1 from Haas team principal Guenther Steiner, star of Drive to Survive, one of the most successful Netflix series of all time
“People talk about football managers being under pressure. Trust me, that's nothing. Pressure is watching one of your drivers hit a barrier at 190mph and exploding before your eyes...”
In Surviving to Drive, Haas team principal Guenther Steiner brings 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, Steiner guides readers on the thrilling rollercoaster of life at the heart of high-stakes motor racing. Packed full of twists and turns, from pre-season preparations to hiring and firing drivers, from the design, launch, and testing of a car to the race calendar itself–Surviving to Drive is the first time that an Formula 1 team has allowed an acting team principal to tell the full story of a whole season.
Uncompromising and searingly honest, told in Steiner's inimitable style, Surviving to Drive is a fascinating and hugely entertaining account of the realities of running a Formula 1 team.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
There is no view of auto racing quite like Guenther Steiner’s view. The breakout streaming star of Formula 1: Drive to Survive spent the 2022 Grand Prix season keeping a journal of his many thoughts about, well, everything. As we read in this engrossing memoir, he was the one keeping things on track as his Haas F1 Team travelled the globe. Through it all, he remains brutally honest about the odds they face as a newer racing team pitted against established, heavyweight teams backed by multibillionaires. The frequent lows (like breaking in a young driver with a famous last name) and fleeting highs (winning pole position in Brazil) of managing a racing team flow out of him in real time. Surviving to Drive is like having an all-access pass to the paddock without ever needing to leave home.
