The Chariot Makers - Assembling The Perfect Formula 1 Car

By: Steve Matchett .

Former F1 mechanic turned TV broadcaster Steve Matchett is trapped overnight in New York, in a fogbound JFK Airport with some fellow motor racing enthusiasts. With no sign of the fog letting up, talk inevitably turns to Formula 1. During the course of the night, and fuelled by regular trips to the departure lounge bar, the three protagonists, drawing upon Matchett's encyclopaedic knowledge of life in the F1 pit lane, decide to piece together the perfect Formula 1 Grand Prix car.

In straightforward, clear and concise language, Matchett explains how the F1 teams have arrived at their current state-of-the-art designs, and exactly how a Formula 1 car is put together.
