'Bernie is not only a great strategist, but also a great team player and competitor' – Sebastian Vettel

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Race-winning team strategist shows how F1 really works.

Welcome to Bernie Collins' world. Formula 1 drivers are the public face of Grand Prix racing, but behind every driver is a team of several hundred people sharing the same passionate desire to win.

On race day, it's the Team Strategist who calls the shots, working under immense pressure to make split-second and crucial decisions. Through her eyes and experience as a Performance Engineer and Head of Race Strategy, Bernie takes you behind the scenes of a Formula 1 teamβ€”both in the factory and at the racesβ€”to uncover what it takes to put two Formula 1 cars on the grid and go racing.

How to Win a Grand Prix gives incredible insight into the entire process from design and construction, through pre-season testing, and how a team prepares for each Grand Prix. For race weekend itself, Bernie recreates it hour-by-hour to plunge the reader behind the pit wall and see what it's actually like to get from grid to podium.
