Excellent book with interesting insights for f1 fans

We can see from the structure of the book Bernie is an engineer and a good strategist. I loved her memoir about her f1 career and particularly loved her reading the book.

"Don't forget to pack your underwear"

Despite having been an F1 fan for well over two decades, not having access to Sky Sports I had never heard of Bernie Collins before this book. And being unfamiliar with her strong Northern Ireland accent, I found i needed to concentrate hard to properly follow her narration, with the unfortunate side effect that I fell asleep frequently and had to backtrack. However, after the first half of the book was completed, this was well worth the dozy irritation as she tracked her time working for Maclaren then Force India/ Racing Point becoming positively diverting as she detailed both the thoughts behind the three practise sessions, qualifying, and the coordinating and management of changing strategies during the race itself. It is an area which has always fascinated me and about which I had previously known nothing. So thank you, Ms. Collins, for shining some light there. As she mentions in her.book, all eyes are usually on the drivers not the strategists behind the scenes.

A fascinating peep behind the pit wall and those others who help make F1 so exciting.

An Engineer's View of F1

A fascinating look at life behind the scenes of F1, with more mentions of food than one might expect. Straightforward, unpretentious and most importantly interesting. A highly recommended read for F1 fans and engineers.
