The new book “F1 Racing: Drive” by Sky Sports F1 commentator Rachel Brookes takes an in-depth look at the strategies and techniques required to cross the finish line first in the world of F1.
This highly accessible book, written by Sky Sports F1 presenter and pit lane reporter Rachel Brookes, with a foreword by Will Buxton, takes the reader behind the scenes of the world’s most-watched motorsport. For the first time, Brookes brings together exclusive new interviews from across the paddock on the strategies for winning in Formula 1. Contributors include team principals Guenther Steiner and Toto Wolff, current drivers Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, Valtteri Bottas and Nico Rosberg, as well as key voices from all corners of the sport.
Brookes covers 75 years of F1, unravelling the decisions made—sometimes in a fraction of a second—as well as the technical mastery and psychological resilience that characterise the sport. From wheel-to-wheel defence and performance under extreme conditions to teamwork.
She explores how the smallest details can make a huge difference and why two drivers in identical cars can achieve such vastly different results. F1 Racing: Drive offers a unique behind-the-scenes look.
By combining Brookes’ extensive experience – having covered more than 200 Grands Prix over fourteen years – with fresh insights from the sport’s most influential figures, the book serves as both a definitive guide and a compelling narrative for fans, aspiring drivers and anyone fascinated by high-performance environments.
