INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
The enthralling account from Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing, tackling life and leadership in the high-stakes world of Formula 1.
Zak Brown led one of F1’s most iconic teams to the 2024 Constructors’ Championship after over a quarter of a century. McLaren Racing’s return to the top has gone hand in hand with a well-earned reputation for team harmony, fairness, and loyalty. Now Zak’s chosen to invite readers in to experience it for themselves, with all the honesty, conviction, and good humour he has brought to leading one of the most storied teams in motorsport back to the front of the grid.
Seven Tenths of a Second will take readers behind the scenes and into the paddock and boardroom to explore how the team has fought its way back to the top under Zak’s leadership, and shine a light on what it takes to succeed in a sport that constantly pushes the boundaries of technology, innovation, and engineering.
Sharing stories and lessons acquired through a life in motorsport, Seven Tenths of a Second will offer unprecedented insights into life at McLaren Racing and beyond.

Born and raised in California, Zak Brown raced professionally around the world for ten years before developing his skills in motorsport’s business and commercial worlds. In 1995, he founded JMI, which grew to become the largest and most successful motorsport marketing agency in the world. As chief executive officer of McLaren Racing, he has led the transformation of the brand and culture of the McLaren Formula 1 team and put in place the people, resources, infrastructure, and mindset that has enabled McLaren to return to racing at the front of the F1 grid. He is married with two sons and several dogs, lives in Surrey in the UK, and can be found on the golf course on his rare days off. Seven Tenths of a Second is his first book.
