Formula Fast, the ultimate guide to Formula One, answers all the questions car-obsessed kids want to know: how do you become a Formula One driver? Which is the trickiest race track? What is the record for the quickest pit stop? (Hint, it's less than two seconds!)

Kids aged 8-12 will discover amazing facts about not only the incredible cars, the iconic tracks, and the superhuman drivers, but all the behind-the-scenes action: from the latest developments in car safety and technology to the different roles in racing teams, what drivers wear and how they train, to how Formula One garages are laid out.

Packed with stats for dedicated petrol-heads, but accessible to those who are simply car curious, this engaging book tells readers all they need to know about Formula One and how to be a part of it.

Launching to coincide with the start of the 2026 F1 season, strikingly vivid illustrations, a stunning silver-foiled cover, and dynamic writing make this a standout take on a sport that has a rapidly growing audience worldwide, particularly amongst young people.
