'A fascinating journey through Nicholas's pre-F1 life and his experiences since joining Red Bull' Autosport
Life in the Pitlane is an inspiring memoir from Red Bull's senior engineer, Calum Nicholas, that will open up the world of Formula 1 like never before.
Replete with all the high-octane tales and behind-the-scenes details you'd expect from a life lived next to the fast lane, Life in the Pitlane will detail 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 will be looking for.
Life in the Pitlane brings a brand-new perspective to the sport, as Calum reflects on his career so far, how the sport has changed for those working in it, the realities of life on the road, and the future he hopes lies ahead.
