About this audiobook
#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.

Listened to this in one LONG sitting and would do it again! Great insights from the man behind the legend. Never knew how he felt about his rise in popularity and would probably feel just like he does (did). VERY MUCH recommend this book.

Amusing and serious at the same time. Guenther can be bluntly honest and entertaining. There is nobody else quite like him. Hearing the story in his own voice makes it seem more real. It's a great read (or listen) for anyone who is interested in F1.

Fantastic book! Behind the scenes look by someone that tells it like it is with humor to go along with it. Very interesting with great stories sprinkled throughout.
