Inside Mercedes F1

‘This is a must read for all F1 fans. My main takeaway is how jealous I am that Matt Whyman got to see inside one of the most famous and successful racing teams of all time. Mercedes have always had an air of mystery about them and that makes Matt’s findings and insight even more compelling. Matt isn’t just behind the scenes, he embeds himself right in the middle of the action’

Greg James, author and broadcaster

‘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 at this level, 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 journalist

'A revealing and absorbing read'

Guardian

'Brutally honest'

Daily Mail

'Compelling … The most illuminating look at the inner workings of an F1 team to date.'

New York Times

'From having the privilege of spending a few days with Mercedes, at the track and at Brackley, I know that 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 football manager

'I’m extremely jealous of Matt Whyman. To get a chance to live inside a Formula One team (and not just any team, but the AMG Mercedes F1 Team!) for a whole year is an opportunity any fan or journalist could only dream of. Formula One is a contradictory culture. On the one hand it is ultra secretive, whilst on the other, it craves the life giving attention that propels its cars. So to invite a journalist in to take notes and then write all about it is an act of either extreme folly or an expression of supreme confidence. I think it’s probably the latter.'

Damon Hill, former F1 World Champion
