| book description |

Discover the exclusive, access-all-areas inside story of one of the most successful F1 teams, perfect for fans of Drive to Survive. *THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER* 'In the secretive world of motorsport, nobody has ever been given this level of access to a team at this level' Will Buxton ‘This book lifts the lid on what life is really like inside our team and it has been based on unprecedented access – nobody has ever been this close to what happens behind the scenes.’ Toto Wolff, Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team CEO 'Brutally honest' Daily Mail 'A revealing and absorbing read' Guardian 'Compelling … The most illuminating look at the inner workings of an F1 team to date.' New York Times ____________________________________________________________________________ The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team was once untouchable. But now, the winner of seven Drivers' World Championships and eight consecutive Constructors' World Championships must confront the reality of no longer being F1's top dog. Fully embedded across the 2023 and 2024 seasons, award-winning writer Matt Whyman follows decorated drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, Team Principal Toto Wolff, and the extraordinary men and women that design, build and race the team's cars as they fight back – on and off the track. From the tension of pre-season testing to the thrill and glamour of race weekends – including events such as Silverstone, Monaco, and the first-ever Las Vegas Grand Prix – Whyman provides fascinating insight into the world of the fastest sport on earth and one of its most successful teams. With exclusive and unprecedented access to the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, and never-before-seen photos, Inside Mercedes F1 charts the journey of the Silver Arrows as they face their greatest challenge yet: the race back to the front. ____________________________________________________________________________ Praise for Inside Mercedes F1: ‘This is a must read for all F1 fans.’ Greg James ‘Matt’s access to the inner workings of Formula 1 racing is unparalleled. Sharing extraordinary highs and lows, this is a fascinating view of the immense teamwork involved to compete at the very top.' - Gareth Southgate *A Sunday Times bestseller November 2024
