THE INSTANT TOP 10 BESTSELLER. THE UNMISSABLE NEW BOOK FROM GUENTHER STEINER, AUTHOR OF THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, SURVIVING TO DRIVE. WITH A FOREWORD BY TOTO WOLFF. Fasten your seatbelts as Formula 1's favourite underdog, Guenther Steiner, takes you on a wild ride through his ten years at Team Haas. From the first seeds of his idea to establish a new F1 team to the challenges of funding and building that team from the ground up, Guenther shares the real story of the origins of Team Haas, immerses readers in the high and lows of its first decade on the grid, and opens up about his departure from the team at the end of 2023. As Guenther recalls his proudest achievements and the many, many disasters he has faced, he takes readers behind the scenes, into the pit lanes and garages, and out on to the circuits of the world's greatest race tracks. We spend time with drivers, mechanics, executives, sponsors, commentators and fans, and take in many personal moments too, all the while grappling with the big challenges and small details that keep the wheels of a Formula 1 team turning. Told in his inimitable style, packed with hugely entertaining stories, outspoken opinions and unvarnished truths, this is Guenther at his very best – insightful, opinionated and completely unfiltered.

Reviews with the most likes.
I much preferred this book to the Guenther's previous work, the writing style has since dropped the diary style writing for a more traditional format of a memoir which is much more appealing. This also benefits the book as the scope of the retelling is over a longer time period than compared to the previous edition, over a decade compared to just a year.
Despite the author writing about a longer period it almost feels more detailed and interesting compared to the previous, possibly at the expense of some engaging and entertaining content that came from the previous style of writing.
Where the previous book felt like a conversation or reading a message from your friend's personal accounts this felt more like a professional discussion which definitely made for a more interesting read.
