How to Build a Car: The Autobiography of the World's Greatest Formula 1 Designer
The author, Adrian Newey OBE, is arguably one of Britain s greatest engineers. How to Build a Car explores the story of Adrian's unrivalled 35-year career in Formula One through the prism of the cars he designed, the drivers he worked alongside and the races in which he's been involved.
While his career has been marked by unbelievable triumphs, there have also been deep tragedies - most notably Ayrton Senna's death during his time at Williams in 1994. Beautifully illustrated with never-before-seen drawings, How to Build a Car encapsulates precisely what makes Formula One so thrilling. A must-read for any F1 fan.
