About
'Gripping to read. Funny, real, exciting. It's a brilliant book.' - Chris Evans
'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...'
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.
In Surviving to Drive, the Haas team principal takes 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, Guenther takes us on the thrilling rollercoaster of life at the heart of high stakes motor racing.
Packed full of twists and turns, from hiring and firing drivers, balancing books, pre-season preparations, the design, launch and testing of a car - and of course, the race calendar itself - this is the first time that an F1 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, this is a fascinating and hugely entertaining account of the realities of running a Formula 1 team.
'Fearless and candid... A gleeful guide to a bonkers sport from a loveable rogue insider.' - The Times
Now now?
The very concept of time has long fascinated us humans, with famous philosophers trying to make sense of it and how it all works. Einstein himself said that time is an illusion, while Cher wondered if there was a way she could turn back time and take back the words that would hurt whoever she was singing about.
Throw South African time into the mix and we confuse the rest of the world even more, with concepts like 'just now' and 'now now', neither of which actually mean 'now'.
Sometimes, it's best to not worry too much about philosophy or Cher lyrics, and just be content with being able to tell the time at all. And nothing could help you do that better than our deal on gorgeous ladies Élysées watches from Christophe Duchamp.
