The exclusive access-all-areas inside story of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 Team
_______________________________________________________________________ '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 '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 'This book lifts the lid on
what life is really like inside our team and it has been based on unprecedented access - nobody
has ever been this close to what happens behind the scenes.' Toto Wolff
