The Little Guide to Formula One features quotes from some of the greatest racing drivers of all time, including Ayrton Senna, Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, Alain Prost, Michael Schumacher, and many others. Also included are numerous facts and trivia about the sport which has capitivated billions around the globe for more than seven decades.

Perfect for seasoned F1 lovers or new fans learning the sport, this pocket-sized guide to the world's most popular form of motorsport captures the history, the people, the thrills, and - most importantly - the need to win.

'Being second is to be the first if the ones who lose.' Ayrton Senna

'There's a lie that all drivers tell themselves. Death is something that happens to other people, and that's how you find the courage to get in the car in the first place. The closer you are to death, the more alive you feel. But more powerful than fear itself is the will to win.' James Hunt

In 2015, Max Verstappen became the youngest driver to ever start an F1 race, aged just 17 years and 166 days.
