A celebratory look at the world of Formula One, featuring the incredible stories that made this magnificent sport what it is today, both well-known and never-before-told.

Over 75 chapters, Alex Jacques tells the story of Formula One's rise, fall and recovery through the extraordinary moments that shaped the world's most dramatic sport. Covering the teams, the drivers, the bosses and the pit crews, Alex Jacques truly takes us trackside to feel the energy and hear from the personalities we love to watch.

With stories ranging from the huge personalities that make up the sport - and the hijinks they wreak at every turn - to a simple misreading of regulations that led to the creation of a monster car, to Lewis Hamilton's shock move to Ferrari and Romain Grosjean's death-defying Man on Fire crash, Grid to Glory brings together some of the most iconic moments in the sport's history, making it a classic F1 title.

Colourfully written and encompassing every aspect of the unique composition of elite motorsport - glamour, rivalry, death, strategy, technology, business and controversy - this book will appeal to old and new fans of the sport, as its mix of known and never-before-told stories provide context to some of the most talked-about incidents in sporting history.
