How to Build an F1 Team demystifies the world of F1, giving an inside perspective of what it takes to create a successful team.
Imagine you had unlimited funds and wanted to create your own F1 team. What would you need? Who do you employ? How much would it cost?
On television, an F1 team looks deceptively small - two drivers, a principal with engineers and a pit crew. In reality, a team like Mercedes employs more than 1,200 people. So what does it really take to build an F1 team?
Written by acclaimed F1 journalist Sarah Holt, How to Build a Formula 1 Team breaks down the role of every person on the team, from aerodynamicists and race engineers to logistics crews, strategists, technicians, parts developers, testers, and the financial and commercial departments that keep the operation running.
Using the new Cadillac team as its model, it features interviews with key figures from across the paddock, including drivers like Lando Norris, team principles like Toto Wolff, and key staff from behind the scenes whose work determines performance on the track.
This is a comprehensive, inside look at the varied skillsets that underpin Formula 1.
