Surviving to Drive: The No. 1 Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

Surviving to Drive—a not-so-subtle linguistic twist on Drive to Survive—is the most anticipated Formula 1 book in some time.

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. It is clear throughout that every thought and decision for Steiner is about what is best for Haas and its workforce. Steiner will be the star of the upcoming ‘Surviving to Drive’ book, penned by the man himself, when it’s released to the world in April 2023.

The term “foking”, used frequently throughout, seems to have been partially invented as a result of the infamous “he does not fok smash my door” line from the Netflix series that has adorned many a T-shirt, but also as a way to avoid an uncomfortable question from the publisher as to why there was over 100 swear words within the book. For those afraid Steiner’s voice had been watered down though, fear not as there are plenty of s**ts to make up for it. He speaks his mind and is wonderfully affable, indiscreet, and entertaining. l am thrilled that he has channelled those qualities into his first book, and we can’t wait to publish it.”

Surviving to drive is geschreven als een soort dagboek, waarbij de berichten voornamelijk zijn geschreven op de dagen waarop vrije trainingen, kwalificaties en races plaatsvinden. Door deze opzet, de dagboekvorm, wordt er rechtstreeks tegen de lezer gepraat. Hierdoor voel je je heel erg betrokken: je leeft mee en hangt aan de lippen van Steiner. Guenther Steiner is one of motor racing's biggest and most celebrated characters, known to millions for his show-stealing appearances on Netflix's hugely popular fly on the wall series, Drive to Survive.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. In addition to all of the above, one also learns a lot about running a Formula 1 team. Steiner not only describes his current job as the team principal of Haas F1 but his time in Rally and NASCAR and even how his current team was founded, as well. A hugely entertaining access-all-areas account of a year inside Formula 1, from Haas F1 team principal Guenther Steiner, star of Drive to Survive, one of the most successful Netflix series of all time. It’s perhaps no surprise that Steiner is releasing a book, given his immense popularity since his very first appearance on the Netflix show Drive to Survive. With the F1 season now concluded and the pace of his work life slowing a little until 2023 gets underway, Steiner was understandably enthusiastic about the prospect of releasing his maiden book.
