Former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner has revealed he is working on a second book about his time in F1.

Steiner, who departed Haas after the American team opted against renewing his contract for the 2024 season, published✤ his first book last year.

‘Surviving to Drive’ was written as a diary of the year and took readers inside Haas’ rollercoaster 2022 season,💝 selling 150,000 copies.

Now, Steiner, whos🍃e popularity has skyrocke🐻ted in recent years thanks to Netflix’s Drive to Survive series giving him cult status, has confirmed a second book is in the works.

The book was already planned prior to his exit from Haas,🎉 and Steiner joked the story “maybe changes a little bit” now.

“We are working on 🍌the second book ❀at the moment,” Steiner told .

“That was planned already before [leaving Haas]. Now, o🎐bviously, the story maybe changes a꧋ little bit!”

Steiner insists that the time he spent on his first book, alongside his TV stardo🌼m, did not take his focus away from Haas.

"I think people are overrating that, how much distraction that is, because it isn't a🔴ctually a lot of distraction from the daily job,” he explained🍒.

“Obviously on the race weekends, you need to work more. But for example, I didn't🐷 have 20 [sponsor] appearances a weekend, I had maybe three maximum.

“It's not like that is distracting, even writing the book. Obviously, a ghostwrꦅiter does it for you.

“Now I've got more time, but even now, we do two sessions a week of half an hour. We do one on Tuesday and one on Friday🌸. That's all I do, he does the rest.

“You speak with him, b﷽ut it's not like I spent days speaking with 🐻him. I know that some people have spent days speaking with these people, but I didn’t.

“I don𒊎't think that is a big factor. I think that there were more benefits for the team than anyth🅰ing else about this because they got a lot of sponsors."
