What to expect

How do twenty of the best drivers in the world drive on the same racetrack and have such different results? This is Formula One unlocked, revealing the strategy and skill behind the most successful drivers in the world.

With exclusive insider access, F1 Racing: Drive reveals the tactics of the top teams and strategies they use to optimize driver performance, explaining how drivers succeed, why they fail and those marginal adjustments that are the difference between winning and losing.

Featuring chapters on everything from defensive masterclasses and the importance of engineering and working as a team to the skills of driving in the rain and conquering mindset, this is a definitive insight into the secrets of the best drivers in F1 history.
