- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5great insight into the f1 factory and pit lane and lifestyle
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It is quite interesting to look inside how a Formula 1 team works. The extended sessions of opinion and ideas of the future of racing got a bit old.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Rambling and pleasant. Maybe not a fireball of excitement as the dustjacket photo implies, but enjoyable, and something to feed the obsession during the off-season.
