Life in the Pitlane
An inspiring memoir from Red Bull's senior engineer Calum Nicholas that will open up the world of F1 like never before.
Life in the Pitlane details the realities of life off the track—the good and the bad—with a particular spotlight on diversity and inclusion within the sport, and all the entertaining stories and behind-the-scenes details fans of F1 crave.
Replete with high-octane tales and the behind-the-scenes details you'd expect from a life lived next to the fast lane, Life in the Pitlane offers a brand new perspective on this incredibly exciting corner of the market. Calum Nicholas reflects on his career in the sport so far, as well as the future he hopes lies ahead.
Unflinching in his appraisal of F1's position regarding diversity and inclusion, Calum hopes to ignite industry-changing conversations and initiatives. While Life in the Pitlane tackles some difficult topics, it is ultimately a book designed to inspire its readers—because no matter the odds, Calum has always found a way to make it work.
