How to Build an F1 Team

Imagine you had unlimited funds and wanted to create your own Formula 1 team. What would you need? Who do you employ? How much would it cost? On television, an F1 team looks deceptively small - two drivers, a team principal with engineers and a pit crew. In reality, a team like Mercedes employs more than 1,200 people. So what does it really take to build an F1 team? Written by award-winning F1 journalist and podcaster Sarah Holt, How to Build a Formula 1 Team breaks down the vital roles within an F1 team - from team principals and technical directors, drivers and race engineers to strategists and commercial chiefs - that keep these multi-million dollar operations running. Using models from past and present F1 teams, it also features interviews from those working on F1's frontline including insiders from Championship winners Mercedes AMG, Aston Martin, Racing Bulls and Haas F1 teams and driver insight from stars including Kimi Antonelli, George Russell, F1 World champion Mario Andretti, David Coulthard, Susie Wolff and Doriane Pin. This is a comprehensive, inside look at the varied skillsets that underpin Formula 1.
