'Adrian has a unique gift for understanding drivers and racing
cars. He is ultra competitive but never forgets to have fun. An
immensely likeable man.' Damon Hill The world's foremost designer
in Formula One, Adrian Newey OBE is arguably one of Britain's
greatest engineers and this is his fascinating, powerful memoir.
How to Build a Car explores the story of Adrian's unrivalled
35-year career in Formula One through the prism of the cars he has
designed, the drivers he has worked alongside and the races in
which he's been involved. A true engineering genius, even in
adolescence Adrian's thoughts naturally emerged in shape and form -
he began sketching his own car designs at the age of 12 and took a
welding course in his school summer holidays. From his early career
in IndyCar racing and on to his unparalleled success in Formula
One, we learn in comprehensive, engaging and highly entertaining
detail how a car actually works. Adrian has designed for the likes
of Mario Andretti, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill, David
Coulthard, Mika Hakkinen, Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel, always
with a shark-like purity of purpose: to make the car go faster. And
while his career has been marked by unbelievable triumphs, there
have also been deep tragedies; most notably Ayrton Senna's death
during his time at Williams in 1994. Beautifully illustrated with
never-before-seen drawings, How to Build a Car encapsulates,
through Adrian's remarkable life story, precisely what makes
Formula One so thrilling - its potential for the total
synchronicity of man and machine, the perfect combination of style,
efficiency and speed.
