Guenther Steiner has been the unlikely breakout star of the show and this book aims to cement his celebrity via a diary-style romp through the 2022 season.

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. I did the audio book so I have proof that I read it," the 58-year-old told Reuters, while admitting his focus had been more on keeping the sound engineer happy than the actual contents.

Already a pivot of the Netflix series, Haas F1 boss Guenther Steiner now lets loose in his entertaining diary of 2022 Steiner intersperses some of the more humdrum days at grands prix with tales from his rallying years—his experience of a Dakar Rally disaster is extraordinary—his bafflement at the fame that his Haas role and DTS popularity has brought, as well as how he balances family life with 10 months of the year on the road. Steiner could probably write another book alone with just stories from his disastrous time at Jaguar alongside the late Niki Lauda, who emerges as one of Steiner’s biggest inspirations.

I love how he wrote this book as diary entries and it felt like he was speaking to you. It was very authentic and it was just a great read. 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.
