Guenther Steiner’s 2023 first-edition hardcover “Surviving To Drive: A Year Inside Formula 1” drops you straight into the cockpit of a Grand Prix season—except the view is from the pit wall, not the cockpit. In 282 fast-moving, fully-illustrated pages the former Haas Team Principal tells the true, no-filter story of how a small, privately funded outfit fights multi-million-dollar giants week-to-week, balancing exploding budgets, carbon-fibre shunts, superstar egos and Netflix cameras. Readers ride shotgun on every strategy call, freight delay and political showdown from pre-season testing to Abu Dhabi, gaining engineering-level insight on why a 1.5-second stop can decide a championship while a 0.5-mm tolerance can destroy a car.
What makes this copy collectible is its pristine first-edition status: hardbound, dust-jacketed and illustrated with never-before-published photos and technical drawings that never appeared on the Haas social feed. Because Steiner wrote the book himself—no ghost-writer polish—the voice is pure Guenther: blunt, profane, hilarious and unexpectedly human. Young-adult and adult fans alike get a masterclass in leadership under fire, learning how “surviving” each race weekend is less about lap time and more about juggling logistics, sponsor pressure and driver emotions at 300 km/h.
For petrolheads hunting a scarce 2023 first printing in very-good, smoke-free condition, this is the one to grab before values climb. Keywords: Guenther Steiner Surviving To Drive first edition hardcover, Formula 1 book 2023, Haas F1 team biography, F1 engineering technology memoir, collectible motorsport book dust jacket.
