"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, 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, F1 broadcaster and author of Grand Prix "This is a must-read for all F1 fans. Mercedes has always had an air of mystery about them and that makes Whyman's findings and insight even more compelling." Greg James, podcast host of The Fast and the Curious "From having the privilege of spending a few days with Mercedes, at the track and at Brackley, Matt's access to the inner workings of Formula 1 racing is unparalleled. Sharing extraordinary highs and lows, this is a fascinating view of the immense teamwork involved to compete at the very top." Gareth Southgate, former England soccer manager and author of Anything Is Possible "I'm extremely jealous of Matt Whyman.

To get a chance to live inside a Formula 1 team (and not just any team, but the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team!) for a whole year is an opportunity any fan or journalist could only dream of. Formula 1 is a contradictory culture. On the one hand it is ultrasecretive, while on the other it craves the life-giving attention that propels its cars. So to invite a journalist in to take notes and then write all about it is an act of either extreme folly or an expression of supreme confidence. I think it's probably the latter." Damon Hill, former F1 World Champion and author of My Championship Year.
