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. Literally get me an interview with Guenther. Two aries in front of a camera, I promise it'll be a good time. If you put Oscar on there too, you'll have three aries. With all our different personalities it's bound to be chaos.

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. We have a bigger sponsor with Moneygram and we have got out of a tough place [after Covid] in 2020 pretty good. But, for sure, the drivers are part of it.” Than of course Mazepin and Uralkali had to go with the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Heel interessant voor alle F1 fans, ook als je nog niet zo fan bent van Haas. Steiner is een sympathieke kerel en ik moest regelmatig lachen om zijn ongefilterde blik op zaken. Steiner staat dus bekend om zijn hilarische opmerkingen in Drive tot survive, maar in zijn boek kan hij er ook wat van! Bijvoorbeeld wanneer hij Alonso omschrijft als “Hij is ouder dan god […] Hij is net een gelukspoppetje. Soms een chagrijnig exemplaar, maar alsnog een gelukspoppetje.” 😂 Already a pivot of the Netflix series, Haas F1 boss Guenther Steiner now lets loose in his entertaining diary of 2022 Fearless and candid, Surviving to Drive reads like the night-time confessions of a football manager who is fighting to stay in the Premier League. A gleeful guide to a bonkers sport from a loveable rogue insider.” — The Times

As a positiv I really enjoyed the "side/ stories from the past". They gave an interesting insight into how you become an TP and how to work your way up the motorsport ladder.Voordat Steiner teambaas van Haas werd, werkte hij al jaren in de autosport. Hij werkte eerder bij o.a. Red Bull, en werkte met Niki Lauda samen bij Jaguar. De focus van Surviving to drive ligt echt op het afgelopen F1 seizoen bij Haas, en ondanks dat er wat persoonlijke notities voorbij komen, gaat het boek écht over F1. Soms – in wat mindere mate – vertelt Steiner ook over andere autoraces waarbij hij betrokken was. If you’re reading this, you’ve probably watched Drive to Survive on Netflix and found Günther Steiner somewhat amusing. Liverpool's Thiago still out for League Cup tie, club's thoughts with Diaz Soccer · October 31, 2023 · 3:38 PM UTC But Steiner was on the right side of history and clearly grasped the issues surrounding his Russian driver Nikita Mazepin and his team’s title sponsor Uralkali immediately after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Describing the decision to drop the main sponsor he says: “There was no debate. It had to happen for the good of Haas and the good of the sport.” Later he adds wryly: “Only Haas could have a Russian driver and a Russian sponsor at the start of a Russian war.” Fearless and candid... A gleeful guide to a bonkers sport from a loveable rogue insider.' - The Times

Surviving to Drive—a not-so-subtle linguistic twist on Drive to Survive—is the most anticipated Formula 1 book in some time. Wolff and Christian Horner, his counterpart at Red Bull, have also become Netflix stars while sniping at each other. Do Wolff and Horner ever thank Steiner for easing the burden of attention on them? “They will never thank you for anything,” he says with a grin. “In here we don’t say thank you to each other. No thanks is already a compliment. At least you don’t get a complaint.”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...” People talk about football managers being under pressure. Trust me, that's nothing.
