Tried a different genre. Love F1 and Drive to Survive but did not enjoy this behind the scenes style journal.

I enjoyed hearing the F1 story from a different perspective, its easy to forget how much work the Team Principles and management do behind the scenes. It really is a team sport, and it makes the driver outbursts far funnier from Steiner's perspective

Very amazing honestly, Gunther talking about the struggles at Haas especially during the 2020 to 2021 season and the controversy include Nikita, Russian sponsor during the time of the start of the Russia-Ukraine war. One of my favorite moments was when he talked about when Kevin Magnussen got Pole Position in Interlagos.

Such a great read! Entertaining with lots of background stories. You will love it even if you are not an F1 fan! And it's an excellent addition to the Netflix series. I hope there will be more to come.

If you love Formula 1, as I do, Steiner's diary of the 2022 race season is a wild ride-along with the oft beleaguered Haas team. Filled with the brutal honesty and usual f-bomb-laden zingers F1 fans know and love from Steiner.

Great read, a deep dive into the world of F1 and all of the dramatic experiences that the sport brings. Gunther is a likeable and relatable person, his passion for the sport is evident throughout the years and he is a great character and has a great outlook on life.

Gunther’s diary from 2022. This book contains musings of Gunther in 2022. Initial pages kinda made me regret buying this book but as you get into it, it’s actually quite informative and hilarious. He wrote about how haas team came about, his journey to F1 and his rally days. Fun read!

Absolutely loved Guenthers diary. Was so easy to get through and lots of funny anecdotes that gave a different insight to the world of F1 and being a team principal.

Would absolutely recommend this to all F1 fans to read.

Tikrai smagus skaitinys F-1 fanams. Yra neįdomių ir nuobodokų vietų, bet ponui Gubtheriui pavyko tikrai gerai aprašyti komandos vidų.

Grundsätzlich interessante Einblicke hinter die Kulissen, aber dazwischen sehr viel Entbehrliches, Gejammer und Geschimpfe, das irgendwie aufgesetzt wirkt

The book is full of stories and anecdotes worth learning, especially about the backstage of F1's 2022 season.
