Short description:
Perfect for fans of&&&160;Drive to Survive,&&&160;On the Grid&&&160;is a love song to Formula One by acclaimed journalist Luke Smith.&&&160;
Long description:
I’ve always vowed the moment the grid stops being the best part of my race weekend, it’s time to stop working in F1. It’s everything about the sport distilled: the sounds, the smells, the tension, the glamor, the people.
This is the story of life in F1.
Luke Smith has spent over ten years reporting on Formula 1 from all over the world. The grid is his playground, the track his literal running track. In&&&160;On the Grid&&&160;he takes us behind the scenes of the past, present and future of Formula 1, telling its story through the eyes of the people who create it - not just the superstar drivers and larger-than-life team principals, but also the the pit crew, the engineers, strategists, PR gurus, the fans and more.
There&&&39;s plenty of thrilling drama, cutting-edge technology and glamour, but Smith also shows us the critical mid-race decisions, how that 50-pence screw in the wrong place could cause a £15m car to break down, how F1 has influenced not just the cars we drive but our fridges, life-saving medical equipment and even croissants.&&&160;
On the Grid&&&160;brings to life what the sport is&&&160;really&&&160;like, revealing the extraordinary minds and characters that give it such colour and intrigue, while also tracing the origins of the sport&&&39;s traditions and impact beyond the track. For both long-time fans and newcomers, it&&&39;s the definitive, access-all-areas account of the people, personalities and culture that make F1 stand alone in world sport.&&&160;
