F1 is followed obsessively by millions around the world. In this book, Beverley Turner follows the giant F1 circus throughout the 2003 season, one of the most open championships in years.
From Melbourne to Monza, via Monaco and Magny Cours, 'The Pits' humanizes the mechanized world of elite motor racing, revealing the reality behind the stories that make the headlines. Beverley Turner depicts the full-throttle experience of watching the race form the pit lane; uncovers the hidden glamour of the VIP paddock; and describes the private, as well as public, personalities of drivers who live their lives to the limit. Turner also deconstructs the F1 phenomenon from an outsider's perspective, looking afresh at the complex relationship between the greatest show on earth and some of the world s biggest businesses.
'The Pits' combines vivid reportage with history, psychology and investigative journalism to capture the power, the glory and sheer heart-thumping exhilaration of the world of elite motor racing.
