520 _aThe world's foremost designer in Formula One, Adrian Newey OBE is arguably one of Britain's greatest engineers. This book 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, readers learn in comprehensive, engaging, and 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. Illustrated with never-before-seen drawings, this book encapsulates, through the engineer's remarkable life story, precisely what makes Formula One so thrilling - its potential for the total synchronicity of man and machine, and the perfect combination of style, efficiency, and speed. -- Adapted from dust jacket description.
