'A true insider's guide to this most complex and thrilling of sports'
Alex Jacques, Formula 1 commentator and broadcaster

An original and exhilarating guide to the world of F1 and what goes on behind the action.

Millions follow the F1 racing season from March to November, but few realise the enormity and complexity of a multi-faceted sport that encompasses so much more than 20 or so Sunday afternoons in the year.

With access to drivers, pit crews, backroom operations, strategists, journalists, PR executives and promoters, journalist Phillip Horton shares his extensive knowledge and experience, and provides an up-close-and-in-person insight into the world and workings of Formula One.

The Formula 1 Year delves inside each of the diverse grands prix on the calendar, which takes F1 across the world to spectacular locations, and also offers in-depth descriptions and explanations of every aspect of the championship. From practice sessions and last-minute adjustments to the finely tuned race day schedule, including early morning strategy meetings, driver warm-ups, grid preparation, intense pit lane operations and the red light start sequence.

Every facet of the sport is explored to grip and enlighten both ardent motorsport fans and those with a casual interest. With engrossing anecdotes, descriptions, interviews and information, this definitive, all-action book unlocks the fascinating and enthralling sport of Formula 1.
