Learn how Formula One is the world's greatest team sport with this intimate and colorful insider's account of what really happens onand offthe race track, from The Athletic's senior F1 writer who has been following the sport around the world for over a decade.
Formula One has only 20 drivers in its elite ranks, but behind each one is an army of professionals devoted to the sport: statisticians and strategists, engineers and mechanics, PR gurus and party planners, and moreall who spend months traveling thousands of miles across the globe each year. Their achievements (and failures) may not be as well-publicized as those of the drivers and team principals, but they're just as important: one fifty-cent screw in the wrong place could cause a $15 million car to break down mid-race.
In On the Grid, F1 journalist Luke Smith brings to life the behind-the-scenes stories that don't make it to viewers' screens. From the Bahrain starting gridthick with sweat and engine fumesto opulent yacht parties in Monaco, with a stopover at a legendary bakery in Melbourne whose croissants exist only because of F1 technology, he showcases the extraordinary characters who give the sport such color and intrigue. With deep insight, knowledge, and warmth, he writes about the emotions and struggles that come with working in such a high-pressure and inherently dangerous sport, and the efforts being made to improve its class and racial diversity, gender parity, and environmental impact. The result is a richer, broader, and more inclusive look at F1 than ever beforeperfect for longtime fans and Drive to Survive neophytes alike.
