"Jeezoz Christ." The first two words written by Guenther Steiner in reaction to the news that Ukraine had been invaded by Russia last year were in-keeping with the Haas team boss' blunt nature – and accent.
Steiner's new book Surviving to Drive: A Year Inside Formula 1 will hit the shelves later this week. Written in the style of a diary, the 58-year-old reacts to everything that happened to his team in the 2022 season.
But there was plenty of drama before any racing got under way. In an advance copy of the book, seen by Mirror Sport, Steiner writes about the challenges facing his team before any of the competitive action, including what needed to be done when Russian forces crossed into Ukrainian territory last February.
