Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

A thrilling history of Formula 1 racing, from its fascinating origins and inner workings to the top drivers of the twentieth century and today, by a celebrated motorsports broadcaster and star of Netflix’s breakout series Formula 1: Drive to Survive.
With just twenty drivers competing at speeds of over 220 miles per hour on the world’s most challenging racetracks, Formula 1 is the ultimate test for any driver.
To become a champion is to be counted among the world’s greatest athletes.
In Grand Prix, Will Buxton pulls back the curtain on the cars, teams, tracks, records, and rivalries that have defined F1 since its very first world champion in 1950, Giuseppe Farina, to modern-day icons like Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.
Join the teams revolutionising car design on the factory floor, become a fly on the pit wall and learn the art of the pitstop, and discover what it really takes to compete in the fast lane with this definitive introduction to the world’s most exhilarating sport.

'Who needs Google when you have Will Buxton? The most comprehensive, all-encompassing book on F1 to date. A joy to peruse' BRAD PITT
'This book is perfect for newcomers who want to take their F1 obsession to the next level and for the die-hards, it's a brilliant potted history of the most fascinating and bonkers sport on the planet' GREG JAMES

I am what people call a "hardcore" F1 fan, and I still learned a huge amount about the history of the sport, and many particular stories. The way that Will Buxton goes into as much detail about the 1950s as if he was there to witness it himself, it's great! No stone is left unturned.

Fantastic!
