*Paperback edition includes foreword by Toto Wolff and an exclusive new chapter on the 2025 season*
The official, access-all-areas inside story of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 Team
‘The most illuminating look at the inner workings of an F1 team to date' New York Times
Join award-winning writer Matt Whyman as he is fully embedded with the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 Team across the 2023 and 2024 F1 seasons, following decorated drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, Team Principal Toto Wolff, and the extraordinary men and women that design, build and race the team’s cars as they fight back – on and off the track.
From the tension of pre-season testing to the thrill and glamour of race weekends – including blue riband events such as Silverstone, Monaco and the Las Vegas Grand Prix – the book provides fascinating insight into the world of the fastest sport on earth and one of its most successful teams. This updated paperback edition includes an additional new chapter about rookie driver Kimi Antonelli set during the 2025 F1 season.
‘This book lifts the lid on what life is really like inside our team. Nobody has ever been this close to what happens behind the scenes.’ Toto Wolff, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team CEO
‘In the 75 year history of Formula 1, no team has ever achieved the level of consistent competitive greatness as Mercedes. In the secretive world of motorsport, nobody has ever been given this level of access to a team at this level, less still the one that redefined the sport. The result is an insightful and inspirational documentation of what it takes to compete at the very top, in the world’s most amazing sport’ * Will Buxton, F1 broadcaster and journalist *
‘This is a must read for all F1 fans. My main takeaway is how jealous I am that Matt Whyman got to see inside one of the most famous and successful racing teams of all time. Mercedes have always had an air of mystery about them and that makes Matt’s findings and insight even more compelling. Matt isn’t just behind the scenes, he embeds himself right in the middle of the action’ * Greg James, author and broadcaster *
'From having the privilege of spending a few days with Mercedes, at the track and at Brackley, I know that Matt’s access to the inner workings of Formula 1 racing is unparalleled.
Sharing extraordinary highs and lows, this is a fascinating view of the immense teamwork involved to compete at the very top.'
