Well I finished it. Here’s the Goodreads review. I can’t believe he has another book that has come out since this one and I’m only a little bit tempted to see if it’s worse
To be brutally honest, this book is boring and uninspiring, especially if you lived through the 2022 F1 season. The problem with writing a book primarily centered around events that have already happened that your primary audience is already aware of is that you have to provide a unique and new perspective on it. You'd think that wouldn't be difficult for someone with Steiner's level of knowledge and insider information but he almost completely fails to share any interesting insight about Haas' 2022 season. The moments where we learn new information that is actually worth learning are few and far between, and he fails to go into detail on anything worth going into detail on. There are multiple instances where Steiner makes a passing mention of something that would make a genuinely interesting topic for F1 fans only to quickly brush past it and pivot to something wholly uninspiring, creating an infuriatingly surface level account of the season, most of which is just a report of results we already know. It was expected that a book clearly made to pander to an audience who doesn't find the "foking wankers" bit overdone and isn't overly concerned with actual insight would do that and only that, but it's disappointing all the same. Ultimately I am not the target audience and cannot fairly judge this book off of what it brings to me, someone who 1) reads a lot of books and 2) is pretty deeply involved in motorsport. That's clearly not who this book was written for. If you were somehow endeared to Steiner by his DTS performance and don't care about the intricacies and details of F1 and if you really like unfunny jokes that get repeated over and over again, I can see how this might be enjoyable, but if you're looking for anything outside of a basic account overshadowed by Steiner's over-commitment to the bit of his personality you're going to be sorely disappointed.

If this is a real thing you have to say then I think you need to start seriously questioning whether the book in question is worth writing
“I'm trying to think of something to write that will make this part of the book feel a bit less predictable and boring.”

ok actually this is pretty funny too
The last week has mainly been about sponsorship for me, which I'll come on to in a second. Before that, I will tell you first what I like about the Monaco Grand Prix. OK, I'm glad we've got that out of the way. Let's get on to the sponsorship. I'm only kidding. Well, kind of. Monaco has some thinos oring for it in terms of what the fans
