Adrian Newey has designed dozens of famous F1 cars, from the all-conquering Red Bulls of the 2010’s to the dominant Williams of the early 1990’s. 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. The factual content doesn't sound too brilliant either, much of it being descriptions of bad post race behaviour, mostly involving excessive alcohol consumption.As Jack-the-Lad has said, this is a fairly standard way of assessing the factual content of books (etc) - which I've used, whether for personal purposes or for reviews I've had to do professionally: start with the stuff you do know about and see what they made of that. From the early days of Fittipaldi, the internal politics at Williams, Senna's tragic Imola crash, the regulation changes in the sport over the years, highs and lows at McLaren and the evolution of Redbull Racing, the story of Newey's career is told in a clever concept that charts the chapters by each one of his historic car design concepts from the March 83G to the RB8 and formats them as a race track (his early years are "On the Grid", then his career moves are each divided in to "turns" as a track is designed). Beautifully illustrated with never-before-seen drawings, How to Build a Car encapsulates, through Adrians 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 illustrations are well considered but too small, especially given the amount of white space in the book.

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. Obviously, the aerodynamicist’s time at the pinnacle of motorsport has run alongside the rise and fall of F1’s most successful team. Despite its title, the a book which offers a tremendous amount of insight into much more than just the creation of racing cars. Autor descreve várias dos carros que construiu durante sua carreira e fatores que influenciaram na suas tomadas de decisão e inspiração. We won more races but we were always a little behind in terms of the championship, to the point that by Brazil, the penultimate race, although Mark won and Sebastian was third, Button was crowned world champion.However, for those not so interested in the finer details, each ‘turn’ goes into the stories of the seasons gone by, and his younger life as a troublemaking student at Repton, culminating in him being one of only two students being expelled from the school in the 1970s, the other being Jeremy Clarkson. Not least because he has a stack of amusing stories to tell and is frank in his view of others and himself. However the creation of the rival Indy Racing League in 1996 created a split which badly damaged the championship. However, I photographed him in the museum at Pegasus Bridge in the early 2000s; and he had quite obviously found a cure for aging too, since he looked pretty much as he did in the late 70s. The technical content is a strong indictment of the F1 rule making process -- not just now but ever since the ground effects Lotus designs.
