About this deal

What’s more, with Formula 1 backing it in the way that it is, that gives it a tremendous chance to thrive. Further, (and for me this is the same criticism I have for the Netflix show) the rule changes, the FIA involvement, the race tracks (why are which ones chosen every year, and why are some only appear every so often, and why are some skipped for years at a time) where is this information. To get a major demographic shift, it takes a long time,” says Hugh Chambers, the CEO of Motorsport UK. It’s really nice to see that there’s a lot more girls coming into karting and it’s good that F1 Academy are pushing for more girls. If a driver decides to do several, they must divert through the pit lane as the grid will be crowded with team personnel.

INSIDE F1 tells the stories of the careers of seven stars of the sport using her interviews from throughout the years. From spending time in the paddock as a teen to becoming a highly respected Formula One journalist and presenter, Lee has been at the heart of motorsport for almost twenty years. From DRS to G-force, from oversteer to slipstreaming, and from tyre warmers to turbulence, it provides you with an easy-to-understand explanation of all the most commonly-used F1 terms and terminology.That’s not to say the girls that were going around the track – the Abbi Pulling’s of this world – don’t have enormous talent, they do. A style of braking made popular in the 1990s following the arrival of hand clutches so that drivers could keep their right foot on the throttle and dedicate their left to braking. The second - and usually softer - of the two tyre compounds nominated by the official tyre supplier for use at each Grand Prix.

Over the years, Lee has shared hire cars in GP2 with Lewis Hamilton when they both hoped to make it to F1.

Here we come back to the idea of F1 Academy Discover Your Drive being that turning point in the history of motorsport – it’s Chambers’ own phrase but one that sums up the magnitude of this initiative. The teams provide the cars, the engineers, the mechanics, the truck, everything else to form that package. Absolutely superb book, full of those well observed details and interesting anecdotes that help us understand more about the F1 world and some of the best drivers.
