Discover everything you ever wanted to know about Formula 1 in this essential, fully illustrated explainer.
Formula 1 is the most popular motorsport on the planet. But while the speed and spectacle of F1 can be enjoyed by anyone, it's a famously complex sport, combining cutting-edge engineering, deep layers of strategy and superhuman feats of dexterity and endurance - all played out at blistering speeds of more than 200mph.
Enter Grand Prix 101, an F1 companion that provides long-time fans and newcomers alike with a fascinating, accessible look at the workings of the sport. Written by broadcaster and host of the award-winning The Fast and the Curious podcast and the official F1 Explains podcast, Christian Hewgill, it answers 50 burning questions across seven key topics (Rules, Teams, Drivers, Circuits, Cars, Races and Tech), offering expert insights on everything from the design of F1 circuits, the strategies that give teams an edge on race day, and the ultra-competitive process through which drivers are selected.
Featuring an exclusive foreword by Williams Racing Team Principal James Vowles and fully illustrated with photos and graphics throughout, this is an essential guide to the world of F1 that will enhance readers' appreciation and deepen their understanding of this thrilling sport.
