Inside Mercedes F1: The exclusive, must-read story of one of the most successful Formula 1 Teams Hardcover – 7 Nov. 2024

gift, arrived in good order

As a Mercedes AMG F1 fan and a fan of Sir Lewis Hamilton, this book is well read and it’s a great read and well put together. It answers a lot of the negative things we may have read in social media about the team and especially the relationship between Toto and SLH (Sir Lewis Hamilton). Definitely recommend any true fans of Mercedes F1 & SLH to get a copy.

I just finished reading Inside Mercedes F1 by Matt Whyman, and as a dedicated F1 fan who’s read many books about the sport, this one left a unique impression. The narrative is well-crafted and offers a rare glimpse into the team, but there’s an unexpected tone that permeates the story—a sense of “invisible fear” that might reflect the pressures inside a large corporate entity like Mercedes.Whyman does a great job capturing the complexity of Toto Wolff’s leadership, and Shov, Allison and Dean’s supportive yet demanding role. However, the portrayal of Mercedes sometimes feels like it belongs in a dark sci-fi epic, reminiscent of a corporate empire straight out of Star Wars. Whether this was intentional or an unconscious choice, it hints at the underlying struggles that may have impacted the team’s performance, especially after Hamilton’s loss to Max Verstappen.Overall, it’s a fascinating read with a novelist’s touch that sets it apart from typical F1 books. If you’re looking for an emotional, behind-the-scenes look with a hint of corporate intrigue, this one is worth picking up.

Great book, was a gift for my partner who is a Lewis fan, and even though he’s moved to Ferrari, he loved the book.Arrived in mint condition and not battered like other books I’ve purchased from Amazon

Bought for husbands Xmas present and he loved it!

This book is probably a great starting point for beginners, but as a seasoned F1 fan you will probably find yourself getting bored. It really doesn’t provide much behind the scenes insight, only provides a very high level view of what we already know about Mercedes, with the usual suspects in the team making the same vacuous statements throughout as excuses for their downward spiral

I received this book as a gift and then bought it for someone else as it was that good

As a f1 dan this was a great read and very informative.
