The world's foremost designer in Formula One, Adrian Newey OBE is arguably one of Britain's greatest engineers and this is his fascinating, powerful memoir.

How to Build a Car explores the story of Adrian's unrivalled 35-year career in Formula One through the prism of the cars he has designed, the drivers he has worked alongside and the races in which he's been involved.

A true engineering genius, even in adolescence Adrian's thoughts naturally emerged in shape and form - he began sketching his own car designs at the age of 12 and took a welding course in his school summer holidays. From his early career in IndyCar racing and on to his unparalleled success in Formula One, we learn in comprehensive, engaging and highly entertaining detail how a car actually works. Adrian has designed for the likes of Mario Andretti, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill, David Coulthard, Mika Hakkinen, Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel, always with a shark-like purity of purpose: to make the car go faster. And while his career has been marked by unbelievable triumphs, there have also been deep tragedies: most notably Ayrton Senna's death during his time at Williams in 1994.

How to Build a Car encapsulates, through Adrian's remarkable life story, precisely what makes Formula One so thrilling - its potential for the total synchronicity of man and machine, the perfect combination of style, efficiency and speed.

The book is excellent regardless of your level of interest in the topic. Just enough technical detail to be interesting but not boring. The story moves along fluidly with great humor and perspective. The narration is the best of any audio book I've heard yet.

Just Excellent.

My only critique is with the narrator, I wish he would have done a little more research into the pronunciation of names and acronyms. The two that stuck out were KERS(saying each letter rather than reading it as a word) and giving Dario Franchetti an Italian accent, he’s Scottish.

Pretty great, a must read/listen for any F1 fan

Really enjoyed this one. Adrian is simultaneously entertaining and incredibly informative. He describes technical detail in a way us mortals can comprehend. There are some great behind-the-seasons F1 details too.

Thoroughly enjoyable and educational

I enjoyed the engineers perspective. I think if you can accept the biases that come from being in such a competitive environment, this is a great book. Must read for F1 fans.
