Formula Fast: Your Ultimate Guide to Formula One Racing!

This is a real must for anyone who has Formula One fans in their classroom, community or at home, or for those who may have a new interest brewing. It’s up to date for the 2026 season and is packed with information, facts and fun for petrol heads and sports lovers alike.

It covers all aspects of the F1 from detailing what happens on a race weekend to what buttons are on the drivers steering wheel and even how drivers train.

For beginners it’s great to pick up on the basics like what the different types of tyres or flags mean and what actually happens at a pit stop, plus plenty of terminology throughout and a thorough glossary at the end, but there is plenty to keep more experienced fans entertained too with sections on famous cars in history, legendary circuits and iconic drivers. It’s also pleasing to see sections on the rise of women in Formula One and the efforts being made to make it a more diverse sport, thanks in most part to Lewis Hamilton.

It’s stylishly illustrated and accessible too with small snippets of information and plenty of visuals. My favourite pages would be the ‘making tracks’ spread that shows the map of a generic circuit with facts about each area- great for someone with limited knowledge of the sport!

This will have no doubt have leisure reading potential in any setting for younger and older readers alike, and barring any major changes next year’s season it should remain a great one-volume book on Formula One for years to come.
