If you haven't already received Adrian Newey's autobiography for Christmas, you should buy it now.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Build-...=1-1&keywords=adrian+newey+how+to+build+a+car

I couldn't put it down. Anyone with petrol in their veins will love this book.

I was expecting it to be a bit dry but not at all; I don't know whether Adrian wrote all himself or had a ghostwriter but he manages to inject wit on every page. Laugh-out-loud wit in many places such as annoying Ron Dennis by moving his papers on his desk by a couple of millimetres, or the time Adrian pitched up for a job interview with Harvey Postlethwaite on his Ducati 900SS, Harvey borrowed the Ducati for a ride, returned ages later and asked when could Adrian start - that was the entirety of the interview.

Brilliant stuff.
