F1 Technology Inside-Out
Many such books have been written before, but mostly by people outside the F1 world, primarily journalists. In rare exceptions such books have fallen short of bringing the reader inside the technology of F1, at least not closer than anyone could get through either magazines or other media.Having been an F1 designer for decades, penning a few winning cars, in competitive teams along side beacons of the auto-sports gave the author an unique perspective in the technology used in F1 until his retirement.He doesn't try to go all the way back in details or to forecast the future from when the book was written. He just gives an honest witness at the technical side of F1 from the pits, and brilliantly so.

Excellent
This is an excellent guide to the major systems of an F1 car. Already a little dated because F1 changes so fast, it is still very informative and covers in depth all the technology that goes into these cars. The author worked in F1 for over 20 years for many top teams, he even helped pioneer many of the technologies that he describes in the book. A must buy for anyone wanting a look at why these cars are so fast.

easily understood book
This is an excellent book. It is easily understood even for the neophyte to F1 like myself. The writing isnt too dry and it is easy to follow the writer's ideas. The layout is also intuitive especially the first chapter which gives an historical perspective and helps to set up the following chapters.My only gripe is that the author doesnt mention the significant contribution of the pre World War 2 Auto Union to the current midengine design of formaula 1 cars.Also wished the illustrations were better and more detailed
