Publisher's summary

The official, no-holds-barred inside story of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 Team

“This book lifts the lid on what life is really like inside our team and it has been based on unprecedented access—nobody has ever been this close to what happens behind the scenes.”—Toto Wolff

With exclusive access to the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, award-winning writer Matt Whyman charts the journey of the Silver Arrows as they face their greatest challenge: the race back to the front of the grid. Once untouchable, the winner of seven Drivers’ World Championships and eight consecutive Constructors’ World Championships confront the reality of no longer being F1’s top dog. Whyman, fully embedded across the 2023 and 2024 seasons, follows decorated drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, Team Principal Toto Wolff, and the extraordinary men and women who 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 Austin, Miami, and the first-ever 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. Whyman reveals the pressure cooker environment of elite competition, shares the secrets of teamwork and high performance, and foregrounds the remarkable individuals who push to the limits in their quest for victory.

Critic reviews

“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, 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 author of Grand Prix

“This is a must-read for all F1 fans. . . . Mercedes has always had an air of mystery about them and that makes Whyman’s findings and insight even more compelling.”―Greg James, podcast host of The Fast and the Curious

“From having the privilege of spending a few days with Mercedes, at the track and at Brackley, 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.”―Gareth Southgate, former England soccer manager and author of Anything Is Possible
