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.

Perfekt bok för den som gillar Formel 1. Inte alls svårläst på Engelska och Adrian förklarar så man enkelt förstår med bilder och ritningar på sina lösningar. Som ett nytt fan av F1 var det dessutom extra lärorikt och spännande att läsa om hans tidiga karriär innan Red Bull.

A must read for motor racing fans.

Recenserad i Storbritannien den 9 maj 2018

Verifierat köp

A very, very good read. Enough technical detail to satisfy with very honest and open descriptions of the history of Adrian's work and life from his unconventional childhood to the end of 2016. It is interspersed with some great anecdotes and often reads like a novel!
I have two, albeit minor, criticisms. One is the repetitive nature of the Red Bull/Vettel dominance years, although this could hardly be otherwise due to the simple facts. The other is to do with the illustrations. Some are clearly Adrian's freehand and although explain some details well are simply not very well drawn. The reast are proper, annotated technical drawings that have been so reduced in size from the originals that you really need a magnifying glass to see what they are illustrating. There are also a few, very poor photographs. Despite these minor criticisms, the book is absolutely excellent and deserves the full five stars for the written content.

Thoroughly Enjoyable Book

Recenserad i Storbritannien den 16 april 2018

Verifierat köp

This book hit the spot 100%. Adrian Newey starts with details of his childhood and early life, then gets into his career designing racing cars, with each chapter dedicated to a particular model, obviously chosen for the innovative ideas Newey was able to put into the design. Technical details are enlivened by stories from the track, so it is all put into context while making the book much more engaging than one would expect for such a technical subject.

I found that the level of the technical explanations was exactly right for my level of education, my interest and my knowledge of Formula One. It was fascinating to get a competitor's perspective on the sport from a designer rather than the somewhat predictable stories from drivers who tend to concentrate solely on their own performance and their personal relationships.

As someone who used to design racing yachts I was intrigued at the similarities between ocean racing and Formula One when competing at the highest level.. Maybe this is why Newey is so keen to move on from cars into designing boats for the America's Cup.

Perhaps the highest recommendation I can give is that I started reading in the morning and could not stop until I reached the final page in the late evening. Car design may be a dry subject but Adrian Newey manages to make it a lively read.

Education, entertainment and empathy

Recenserad i Storbritannien den 17 april 2020

Verifierat köp

A most enjoyable book that entertained and informed on a number of levels. I brought knowledge from A-level physics and applied maths in 1978 and watching the F1 cars at Brands Hatch, thus an enthusiast and fan with just enough knowledge to be dangerous and had just missed out on the very early days of aero and the wings on stilts.

I didn't realise that Adrian Newey had been a race engineer for quite some time, in my ignorance I thought he was 'just' the leading aerodynamicist who had brought Red Bull their run of championships overcoming the handicap of not having the best drivers nor the best engines.

I liked reading of how driven he was that he would be just physically present on family holidays whilst mentally far away, changing designs in his head or with paper and pencil, even having a great idea whilst staring out of an aeroplane window. I wasn't surprised at the developments in his personal life nor the limited amount of space in the book he allocated to describing them.

I found the illustrations and technical descriptions in the early part of the book interesting but by the time we reached the last few chapters the technicalities were far too deep for my limited brain space and short attention span. I wasn't expecting great revelations of personal and working relationships - the author seems to be very much a self-contained engineer rather than a people person - but I thought he struck the right balance when talking about 'characters' he encountered along the way; just enough titillation to whet the appetite but no huge hatchet-jobs.

The passage about the design, changes and build of Senna's car were poignant and gave a sense of the demons still within Newey's head.

Perhaps only AN would wear goggles to go onto the podium because he didn't like Vettell spraying bubbly into his eyes, a lovely solution to the problem and it made me smile.

Fascinating but not entirely honest!

Recenserad i Storbritannien den 31 december 2018

Verifierat köp

I enjoyed this book enormously. It was a real page-turner, and I learned a lot about Newey's earlier career in Indy car racing which I wasn't too aware of; I even have a new found respect for the sport! The processes and commitment from Newey are clear to see. However, he does seem a bit prone to over-exaggeration and I didn't always enjoy the tone which suggested that seemed to imply he made the right decisions all of the time. The worst offence, was the description he gave of Ron Dennis' speech to the Autosport car awards, where Newey allages Ron Dennis laid into him big time. I looked up the footage. The reality seems very different to how Adrian has written it. There is always the suggestion that other teams have been more ruthless with the rules than he would be, which isn't the tone Newey adopts when describing his own creative processes, which centre entirely on how he can undermine the rules and find a loophole.
Great stuff, an amazing gift for a true F1 lover, but one must be careful with some of the hyperbole. It seems a case of 'never meeting your heroes.' My respect for Newey has grown still further, but I can't help but feel disappointed in him after reading this.

A surprising and compelling read

Recenserad i Storbritannien den 17 juli 2018

Verifierat köp

As a fan of F1, I was always going to buy and read this book, but my impression of Adrian Newey made me think that it would be a hard slog to read. I could not have been more wrong!

Right from the first chapter, this is a light and compelling biography, with some genuine laugh-out-loud moments, coupled with a very well judged level of detail into the technical work for which Newey is famous. The book also contains many of his hand-crafted sketches for car developments, giving the reader a feel for how he thinks and how he communicates his ideas to the teams who make them into the cars we see racing.

Every F1 fan should read this book!
