About this product

Product Information

'Adrian has a unique gift for understanding drivers and racing cars. He is ultra competitive but never forgets to have fun. An immensely likeable man.' Damon Hill 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. Beautifully illustrated with never-before-seen drawings, 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.

    Great communication and prompt too. Not the cheapest price I found for this particular book, but greatly compensated by the excellent condition of the book, hence my choice to spend more. Delivered very promptly with excellent packaging to ensure the book wasn’t damaged in its journey to me. Would use this seller again and would highly recommend to other buyers 👍😊.

    Not a lightweight book however contents amazing

    Amazing book on the Technical issues of the F1 Williams Team's efforts over the years. Adrian Newey is one of the most clever Technical Engineers I have had the privledge to meet. Listening to his talk of his life in Formula One was enthraling to say the least. Wonderful subject detailing Design and Aerodynamics of how to bulid a racing car.

    Great book, except people keep borrowing it, I want it back!

    Really good read by probably the best racing car designer of our time. So pleased to see he hand sketches, leaving the CAD to the draughtsman - to many so called engineers inhibit their creativity by trying to design directly using software

    A great book for everyone who is interested in F1.

    I have not completed the book as yet but i will. The part that i have read is fascinating and very detailed and very interesting. Not sure that i will understand all of the details but with the help of my computer i will find out. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in F1 design or just to be better informed. A great Book, and well worth the money.
