But seeing as I have four grown up (allegedly) daughters, and between them they supplied most of my reading matter this Xmas, I don't give a McHonda's misfire about the cost. As a Formula One fan since childhood I was delighted to receive a review copy from the publisher to be able to compare to the many F1 autobiographies and history books I've read across the years; I have to say this is one of my personal favourites as Newey is such an innovator of the sport and has suc

The series’ signature race is the Le Mans 24 Hours, held annually at the Circuit de la Sarthe in France. Some typos as well as such clunkers as describing Messrs Ganley and Schenken as a couple of Aussies. Despite the offers, the man born in Stratford-upon-Avon could not be drawn to Maranello and has stayed in Milton Keynes for 11 years.This is a used book - there is no escaping the fact it has been read by someone else and it will show signs of wear and previous use. Adrian Newey is one of Formula 1’s finest technical brains… The prose is sharp, punchy… you learn almost without realising.

The technical content is a strong indictment of the F1 rule making process -- not just now but ever since the ground effects Lotus designs. And he’s fabulously indiscreet about those he feels has done him a disservice along the way, even those he acknowledges a debt of gratitude to.Over the winter of '68-'69, even a few F3s were trying out the idea of strut-mounted wings, front and rear, (for example, Schenken's Brabham). But not in a dry textbook way; he explains this and everything else within the context of the circumstances of the team and his life at that time.

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 has designed, the drivers he has worked alongside and the races in which he’s been involved.

How to Build a Car encapsulates through Adrian's remarkable life story, precisely what makes Formula 1 so thrilling. And while his career has been marked by unbelievable triumphs, there have also been deep tragedies; most notably Ayrton Sennas death during his time at Williams in 1994. In the book’s stand-out chapters, Newey gives a revealing and analytical assessment of the shortcomings in the design of the Williams FW16 in which Ayrton Senna crashed and was killed. And if they failed to keep hold of him, imagine how different F1 history might have been had Ferrari ever succeeded in signing Newey?According to Newey, Ferrari’s financial might and huge support have given them both increased funding from motorsport’s governing body and also far more leverage when it comes to decision-making and rule-breaking, which he has had to contend with for much of his career. Motorsport Online `In this gripping memoir, Newey reveals the highs and lows of his race to the top. Adrian Newey has designed dozens of famous F1 cars, from the all-conquering Red Bulls of the 2010’s to the dominant Williams of the early 1990’s. Granted, you may need a certain all-encompassing fascination of every aspect of F1 including the nuts and bolts to be riveted by it all (which I was), but How To Build A Car is so much more than just what its title implies. It spans from his earliest childhood memories to his current Formula One career with Redbull Racing / Redbull Advanced Technologies; charting both personal and professional insights with his likeable, firm but fair style.
