**THE INSTANT NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** '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...' 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. 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. Packed full of twists and turns, from hiring and firing drivers, balancing books, pre-season preparations, the design, launch and testing of a car - and of course, the race calendar itself - this is the first time that an F1 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, this is a fascinating and hugely entertaining account of the realities of running a Formula 1 team.

a fantastic read for anyone. the audiobook is read by guenther himself, and is a wonderful listen.
Very enjoyable and funny and written exactly how Guenther would speak
I liked this book but it wasn't a masterpiece or a must read, I feel really harsh therefore giving it only a 3 star review, however, its sequel is better but still not a 5 star book either.
It follows the 2022 Haas season and gives a nice insight into Steiner's year and issues he comes by; which there are a lot!
Written in a diary-style, the book and the writing feels like you're reading your friends personal accounts of their life and job, which is refreshing but not for everyone nor would I usually go for.
