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.
