Editorial review of the book

How to Build a Car is the autobiography of Adrian Newey, one of the most successful and innovative engineers in Formula 1 history. The book provides insight into his 36-year career, during which he designed race cars for teams like Williams, McLaren, and Red Bull Racing, and collaborated with legendary drivers including Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, and Sebastian Vettel.

Newey shares his early fascination with cars, his first sketches at the age of twelve, and his journey to becoming a top engineer. He discusses the technical challenges he faced in designing race cars and personal moments, such as the impact of Senna's death in 1994. The book is richly illustrated with original drawings and plans, offering readers a deeper understanding of the world of Formula 1.
