The Mechanic

While Priestley is an able writer and this is an entertaining read, there's not really that much “secret” in this book for F1 fans.

Pit crew antics and all aren't all that fascinating. The nuts and bolts insight of testing, improvement and strategy of the mechanical side of F1 are not really touched on at all. If you're interested in the analytical and technical side of the sport, this is probably not the book you're looking for.

Engaging read for anyone interested in F1.
