Interesting to hear stories from the industry but would've preferred the chapters to be longer and more detailed

This was such an informative read! As a fan of F1 already I had a basic knowledge of the sport and learned so much about the behind the scenes of the sport from this book. Giles has interviewed a wide of variety of individuals from across the sport from various teams from a driver, a comms manger and many different engineers. It was so fascinating to gain an understanding of how things work from an engineering perspective. It was also so interesting to hear the stories of how people came to the sport either accidentally or having dreamed of it since childhood. This is a must have for all F1 fans.

I enjoyed the insight into the varying roles that go into an F1 team, starting from some of the most visible figures and less flashy but still vital jobs. My only complaints are a) this needs more commas for the sake of grammar and b) the formula (pun unintended) of describing each person's life story did feel a bit repetitive by the end. However, still incredibly fun to put some names and personality to faces like the front jack guy Oscar Piastri nearly slammed into this year.
