Surviving to Drive: A jaw-dropping account of a year inside Formula 1, from the breakout star of Netflix's Drive to Survive by Günther Steiner

funny informative fast-paced

3.0

I most enjoyed this when it was sharing anecdotes about people like Niki Lauda or exploring how he got to wear he is now, particularly his rally career. The tricky thing with a diary entry style book is that I watched the season as it happened so a lot of it isn't wildly exciting! I liked when he went into details that you wouldn't know from just watching coverage, stuff like internal decision making, that kind of thing. I wished there was more insight like that e.g. don't just tell me how expensive it is when a driver crashes, tell me more info! What do you even do?? The tone was fun and this was a light read, but I would have loved a bit more.
