An entertaining A-Z guide to everything you need to know about Formula One by BBC F1 presenter and Drive to Survive expert Jennie Gow.

'Formula 1 is as complex as it is competitive, existing in a world which has built up a language almost unique to itself. Jennie has been working the Formula 1 pitlanes and paddocks of the world since before many of today's superstars had even started karting. She knows the sport inside out. There's nobody better to take you on this alphabetic adventure through the greatest sport in the world.' Will Buxton

'This is a great read for old and new fans of F1, one that will inform, educate and entertain you. A truly comprehensive guide to Formula One - from A to Z (and most importantly, to B).' Valtteri Bottas

'Jennie's job is to go where angels fear to tread. Being in the pit lane and on the grid or even in the F1 paddock is not for the faint of heart. It takes courage and a lot of hard work to know your stuff and ask the difficult questions in F1. Jennie Gow is that gal!' - Damon Hill

'Jennie brings such a great passion to broadcasting on F1.' - Nico Rosberg

Fun, informative and insightful, How to Read F1 is the perfect gift for Formula One fans.

BBC F1 presenter and Drive to Survive expert Jennie Gow covers the key concepts, drivers, teams, tech and rules in an easy-to-read, bitesize format. Featuring bespoke illustrations capturing the sport's famous faces and technical elements, the book is packed with Jennie's unique insights, anecdotes and plenty of trivia. Whether you're new F1 and keen to learn more or a veteran supporter looking to brush up on facts, there's something for everyone in this entertaining guide to racing in the fast lane.
