Description
From epic on-track battles to gloriously delulu off-track drama, tyre strategy to the anatomy of a race weekend, Formula 101 is the F1 course you never got in college (but absolutely deserved).
Inside, you'll find deep dives into legendary teams like Scuderia Ferrari; gossipy takedowns of less legendary ones, including Renault; an ode to Guenther Steiner; and enough rigorously (ahem) peer-reviewed driver hotness ratings and nepo-to-talent ratio analyses to earn both this class—and its authors—a place at Harvard, right alongside F1 Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff and his business syllabus.
Readers will meet drivers past and present through five classic archetypes—from terminator to precious baby angel—and a rogue's gallery of team principals, engineers, and other personalities. Packed with illustrations and pop-culture references, Formula 101 is the perfect gift for sports fans who love competition, storytelling, and a little gossip, whether they still debate Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen's 2021 showdown or are just starting to learn why Formula 1 inspires such intense loyalty.
This is F1 by fans for fans. So grab your textbook. Class is in session.
