Description
The greatest motorsport on the planet is now as competitive as it has been in years, as Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and a host of other drivers battle it out in breathaking races around the world.
With teams limited to a cost cap and rules designed to harmonise engine power, the racing is closer than ever and more rivalries emerging: the Hamilton vs Verstappen rivalry reminded fans of some of the great disputes of the past – Prost vs Senna, Hunt vs Lauda, Schumacher vs Hill.
With chapters organized just like a Grand Prix weekend – Practice, Qualifying, Race, Podium, Media Debrief, Championship Standings – this quiz book is a fun and unique way to learn about the history, heritage and drama of Formula One.

I just did the test with a friend and it was SO enjoyable! As a new F1 fan it has been super helpful to learn in depth about Formula 1. My friend on the other side, who was an older fan, also found it challenging and dynamic. Very good quality pictures and very well organised, as well as perfectly paired with the questions. I loved the book's format and found the questions very interesting. After finishing this book you'll have a much wider knowledge about F1's recent and not so recent history, tracks, drivers and much more. Enjoy!
Also thank you Netgalley for letting me enjoy this ARC!
I spent the weekend doing this whole quiz with my husband and really enjoyed it! I've only been partially watching F1 with him since last season so I wasn't expecting to do very well but I love a good quiz and thought they'd probably mostly be multiple choice questions and I could make some educated guesses. It was indeed mostly multiple choice but there were also some other style questions which were great fun too and something a bit different. I thought my husband would thrash me but he actually won by very little (and halfway through I was ahead and actually thought I might win haha). It was really fun to do though still, even if I am a sore loser.
I loved the way the questions were split up into sections like Circuits, Race Calendar, Drivers and Decades. And then split into multiple rounds within those sections. It felt like a proper pub quiz. It also means you could easily do a bit at a time and just answer one section rather than doing the whole book in one go if you wanted to. I would have liked the answers to be more split into each section though preferably, because even though for me we were planning on doing the whole thing this weekend, I did want to mark each section as we went along. When I flicked to the answer pages though, all the sections follow straight on from each other so you can't mark one section without seeing the answers to future questions and getting spoilers. I'd maybe just have one section per page or make sure each new section starts on a new page so you don't have to look at a page with future answers on when marking a section. Also maybe then with the section titles written bigger near the top of each page so they're easier to find if answering out of order maybe. That's just a personal preference thing though and would help anyone wanting to answer gradually.
My only actual complaint would be that there is one round where the answers in the back are wrong but hopefully that will be fixed in time for publication. Otherwise I thought the book was great! It was really fun to do and even the non-picture rounds have photos for some of the questions which gives you something bright to look at and more insight which I loved. I think this book would make a great gift for any F1 lovers to have some fun showing off and testing their knowledge and I'd definitely recommend it.
As a woman who loves to watch F1 (since my teens), I love this book.
Although it is a quiz book, there is so much to learn through the quizzes. I asked my husband (also an avid F1 fan) some of the questions, and be could not answer one.
I am going to absorb every bit of information to astound his friends (who continue to be surprised that women can love this sport.)
Amazing book with fantastic images and incredible F1 information. If you even have a mild interest in F1, you should get this book.
