'A true insider's guide to this most complex and thrilling of sports'
Alex Jacques, Formula 1 commentator and broadcaster
An original and exhilarating guide to the world of F1 and what goes on behind the action.
Millions follow the F1 racing season from March to November, but few realise the enormity and complexity of a sport that encompasses so much more than 20 or so Sunday afternoons in the year.
With access to drivers, pit crews, backroom operations, strategists, journalists, PR executives and promoters, journalist Phillip Horton shares his extensive knowledge and experience, and provides an up-close-and-personal insight into the world and workings of Formula One.
The Grand Prix Year delves inside each of the diverse grands prix on the calendar, taking you to spectacular locations across the world and giving you in-depth descriptions of every aspect of the championship. Learn about the practice sessions and last-minute adjustments to the finely tuned race day schedule, driver warm-ups, grid preparation, intense pit lane operations and the red light start sequence.
Every facet of the sport is explored to grip and enlighten any motorsport fans. With engrossing anecdotes, interviews and insider knowledge, this definitive, all-action book unlocks a fascinating and enthralling sport.
