About this deal

If you follow Formula 1, and particularly Guenther Steiner, you'll probably know what to expect from this book.

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.I came into this book only really knowing about Guenther and Haas from the Drive to Survive series, and I now come away after finishing it a bigger fan, not quite Connor McGregor level, but will definitely keep an eye out for them in future races.

The book is about the Haas’ 2022 season, race by race. Alongside that Guenther tells a bit about him self, about how he got where he is right now, and about the team’s past. He also gives his thoughts about certain things F1 related shares his ideas on various topics. Like real Guenter style this book is full of humor and swearing. The only downside was that the book felt repetitive rather fast. Surviving to Drive’ provides an absorbing view into the world of Formula 1 for Haas fans and non-Haas fans alike, and the publishers must have rubbed their hands in glee when the many moments of chaos descended upon the Haas team in 2022. PDF / EPUB File Name: Surviving_to_Drive_A_Year_Inside_Formula_1_-_Guenther_Steiner.pdf, Surviving_to_Drive_A_Year_Inside_Formula_1_-_Guenther_Steiner.epubWhat sets this book apart from other F1 books is its unique format. Instead of the traditional biographies that we've seen before from technical directors and principals which span an entire career, Steiner chronicles the events and difficulties of the 2022 season. He shares the changes and challenges brought about by the lingering effects of the pandemic, as well as what it's like to be a team principal managing the impact of new FIA rules, the budget cap, and handling a Russian driver with Russian sponsors amidst the developing situation in Ukraine. So and now to the F1 part. IDK I would have loved to have go into more depth. Like most of the things he wrote you knew. But I would actually LOVE to know what goes on in a team when a crash happens (lets be honest that why most wanted to read it) or how you handle talking to a driver, what you mention etc. Same with when a car faliure happens .Don't say "well wopps the car boke well anyway" but what do you say to the driver who had nothing to do with it, what do you say to the mechanics or generally how you handle that as a team principle. Going to interviews, talking to Communications etc. We’re all competitive people and every person who works for every team on the grid obviously wants their team to do well. OK, so we’re not likely to win many races anytime soon. In 2018, though, Haas, who were, and still are, the smallest team on the grid, scored ninety-three points and finished fifth in the Constructors’ Championship. That’s not bad for a team that was also only three years old at the time. We’re not stupid. 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. Lifts the lid on life as a Formula One team principal. The book gives us honest, unfiltered Steiner. The Athletic
