Drivers must enter the pit lane, drive through it complying with the speed limit, and re-join the race without stopping.

An engine may be very powerful, but if it has little torque then that power may only be available over a limited rev range, making it of limited use to the driver. Over the years, Lee has shared hire cars in GP2 with Lewis Hamilton when they both hoped to make it to F1. Thanks to a relaxed but informative interview style, she has become one of the most respected F1 presenters and interviewers in the sport, with drivers requesting her for interviews because of her tough but fair approach. There were a few minor typos and missing words you had to insert for yourself, and some small repetition as the careers of the chosen drivers over-lapped, but the behind the scenes insights, particularly with some of the trickier questions Lee McKenzie had to ask to do her job properly are very revealing about the character of these drivers - on good days and on bad days.If someone was to ask me what keeps you up at night, [it's that] we will run out of [female] drivers,” says Susie Wolff, the Managing Director of F1 Academy.

Absolutely superb book, full of those well observed details and interesting anecdotes that help us understand more about the F1 world and some of the best drivers. Attached to the engine, a turbocharger uses an exhaust driven turbine to drive a compressor to increase the density of the intake air consumed by the engine.A typical Formula One race compound will have more than ten ingredients such as rubbers, polymers, sulphur, carbon black, oil and other curatives. When we show people around our factory, or we welcome people to the racetrack and show them around and they don't have much knowledge of motorsport, they're always quite surprised at the business model.

What’s also encouraging – along with the positive direction of travel – is the determination within motorsport to help drive that change.

A brief test when a team is trying a different car part for the first time before going back out to drive at 100 percent to set a fast time. The mechanical power from the turbine is used to drive not only the compressor, but also the MGU-H (see ERS). When a car's rear end doesn't want to go around a corner and tries to overtake the front end as the driver turns in towards the apex.
