R. ModgilR. Modgil: Just remember it's not "how to build a car", but instead Adrian Newey's autobiography.

Derek & Josh: Fascinating read for any casual or hardcore F1 fan. It’s great to learn more about the actual people in this sport and how their lives and the sport intertwine. Thank you to Adrian for sharing his life with us. Hopefully he’ll release an updated version after the 2023 season!

Andreína: Adrian Newey is definitely the most successful person in F1 and it’s nice to get to know a bit of how he got /there/.

Richard A Haviland: I’ve read very few books that hold my interest from beginning to end. This was an interesting read all the way through and I felt a kinship to the author as we have similar interests and gave me an insight into what I could have become had I better guidance and inspiration ( and intelligence). Adrian has been much more successful in his career although I’m way ahead in the relationship department. Great guy, great book.

Paul Hedman-Dennis: Super readable. To my pleasant surprise, Adrian's anecdotes about his life, work ethic, and the politics of F1 are as interesting as his technical insights. A quick and charming read, there's a world where this book came out very dry. Instead, it's bubbling with Adrian's goofy personality.
The only things I would have wanted beyond what's on offer:
an update for 2018-2021, and the current generation of cars, which for obvious reasons probably won't happen until 2026, if at all.
A little more depth and explanation on the technical discussion/drawings. Adrian and his ghost writer do a pretty admirable job here, and I know there's probably a slew of valid reasons they didn't do this. Still, I think it might have been cool to have an appendix where, for example, they fleshed out the math used in figuring out a new gear box, or to elucidate some of the discrepancies between CFD, the wind tunnel, and the track that pop up at various times. Maybe that would be boring. Still, even though I loved the book I've wasted most of my review talking about it, so I guess nobody wins.
