Hello Everyone,
Just a quick note to introduce myself and hopefully get some recommendations on the Formula One related books I'm considering. I've been an F1 fan for around 16 years now and it's one of my favorite motorsports, second only to MotoGP. While there's much I do know about the sport, there's a whole lot I don't know! I'd like to learn more about what goes on behind the scenes in the FIA and the various F1 teams. I'd also like to get more "day in the life" type of info on drivers and mechanics. The books I've been considering so far are listed below, would you recommend any of those or are there any other titles you'd recommend? Thanks in advance for any info you can provide!

Total Competition: Lessons in Strategy from Formula One by Ross Brawn
Aussie Grit: My Formula One Journey by Mark Webber
Life in the Fast Lane: 20th Anniversary Special Edition by Steve Matchett
The Mechanic's Tale by Steve Matchett
Life At The Limit: Triumph and Tragedy in Formula One by Sid Watkins

Hi, there!! Welcome!!

I personally haven't read this book; but, one of our former members recommended it to me...

I Just Made Tea by Di Spires with Bernard Ferguson.
Apparently, it shows a human/funny side to F1...

Again, I haven't read it; but, I do trust that it is a good read!
Let me know... it's about time I did more reading that's not work related!
