Drive to Victory

About this book

This fascinating non-fiction book is packed with information about every aspect of Formula 1 racing, making it a superb introduction to this thrilling sport.  

The author explains what it feels like to drive at speeds of 350km per hour, the effects of gravitational force on the body, and the intense training required to withstand it. Other chapters explore how Formula 1 events work, what happens in a pit stop and how the sport has evolved since its inception in the 1920s. 

There's a wealth of information about key drivers past and present, highlighting the challenges they have faced as well as their incredible achievements. Also discussed is the lack of female representation in this male-dominated sport, alongside examples of recent investment in young female talent which should hopefully encourage more women into Formula 1 in the future.  

The author is a sports commentator and one of only two Indian drivers to have ever competed in Formula 1 racing. His passion and enthusiasm for the sport emanates from every page. 

The stylish design of the book makes it easy to navigate, with clear page layouts, a useful glossary at the end, and black-and-white illustrations throughout, which break up the text.
