Awesome. This is the "product description" on Amazon, probably from the publisher.

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.

If he released this end-2013 / start 2014, he would have made tons more of money i think.

I'll see if i can find it in some store here and 'scroll' through the pages and check out the selling price. There's some room for material like this in the bookshelf left.
"Explain the ending to F1 in football terms"
"Hamilton was beating Verstappen 7-0, then the ref decided F%$& rules, next goal wins
while also sending off 4 Hamilton players to make it more interesting"

Yes, it's quite misleading. It's just an autobiography, yet the title makes it sound like an instruction manual.

Think that's one for the Christmas list!!
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

To be fair, a great start on "how to build a car" is to be Adrian Newey.

I've read about 25% of the book already and it is entertaining and very easy to read so far. Yes it is a biography, but it's about 90% talking about building the cars and 10% his personal life.

My copy will arrive on November 9th. I'm pretty exited about the book. Does the book offer any insight to the political side of the sport? Is there a book which does that? Unfortunately Brawns book didn't offer that much insight on that topic as well :(
