Guenther Steiner, a motorsport engineer and Haas team manager, wrote a foreword to the book.
He said: “The book is a hilarious story of how a most unlikely character somehow succeeded in our crazy world.”
“It provides a unique perspective on how the Flying Circus really works”, he added.
Kris recorded adventures and interactions in a diary while working in the Formula One world, which became the basis for this book.
Kris said he was inspired to start this writing habit by his father, Bill Henley.
Kris said: “When I was sixteen, my father – who was an amateur writer himself – promised me a fiver if I wrote a daily diary for three months.
“Though I wasn’t very good in English class at school and had an extreme aversion to work or discipline of any kind, I shocked Dad by keeping up the habit and winning the bet.”
