  • A technical book wrapped in personality.
Super readable. To my pleasant surprise, Adrian's anecdotes about his life, work ethic, and the politics of F1 are as interesting as his technical insights. A quick and charming read, there's a world where this book came out very dry. Instead, it's bubbling with Adrian's goofy personality. The only things I would have wanted beyond what's on offer: an update for 2018-2021, and the current generation of cars, which for obvious reasons probably won't happen until 2026, if at all. A little more depth and explanation on the technical discussion/drawings. Adrian and his ghost writer do a pretty admirable job here, and I know there's probably a slew of valid reasons they didn't do this. Still, I think it might have been cool to have an appendix where, for example, they fleshed out the math used in figuring out a new gear box, or to elucidate some of the discrepancies between CFD, the wind tunnel, and the track that pop up at various times. Maybe that would be boring. Still, even though I loved the book I've wasted most of my review talking about it, so I guess nobody wins. ... show more

  • Compelling front to back.
I’ve read very few books that hold my interest from beginning to end. This was an interesting read all the way through and I felt a kinship to the author as we have similar interests and gave me an insight into what I could have become had I better guidance and inspiration ( and intelligence). Adrian has been much more successful in his career although I’m way ahead in the relationship department. Great guy, great book. ... show more

  • The genius speaks.
For any fan of F1 racing this is a must read. Adrian is still present in F1. His developments have changed the sport.

  • Category killer book written by the god of aero.
Adrian Newey somehow found the time to put down in writing, for a general audience, the essence of what his aerodynamic magic consists of. For that alone he deserves a Pulitzer. Since this book was published, he has won even more World Championships in the most competitive form of motorsport in the world. For those who enjoy F1 for the year-round competition in hi-tech engineering as much as the incredible driving skills on display, this book will be pure pleasure. ... show more

  • Be informative
A tremendous amount of information, he explains how the majority of speed comes from aerodynamics

  • Good so far, bad delivery.
Book was delivered damaged, but besides that good book! You pretty much know what you're getting into buying this and it doesn't disappoint.
