Steiner’s first book, Surviving to Drive, was written after he was approached by ghostwriter James Hogg and told the inside story of the Haas team’s 2022 season, while also dipping into episodes from earlier in Steiner’s career. It has sold some 150,000 copies and appeared in 12 languages.
Steiner and Hogg, who had previously worked on projects with Damon Hill, Johnny Herbert and Jason Plato, have already embarked on their second collaboration when the former hit the headlines earlier this month after being ousted by team owner Gene Haas, giving their work a potential new focus.
“We are working on the second book at the moment,” Steiner told Autosport. “That was planned already before. Now, obviously, the story maybe changes a little bit!”
Steiner enjoyed his involvement in the first project, which led to him undertaking signing sessions in shops with fans.
"It was a completely new experience,” he said. “I learned a lot about how some industries work, how things are done because I was never exposed to this before.
