New Books for the New Year: Formula Fast

Our latest kid's book, Formula Fast: Your Ultimate Guide to Formula One Racing, is the perfect companion for back seat drivers aged 8 and over. 

This lavishly illustrated 64-page must-have handbook to Formula One is packed with amazing facts about incredible cars, iconic tracks and legendary drivers past and present, from Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton to Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher. It also includes some of the lesser known names of the sport such as Desiré Wilson – one of only five women to compete in F1.

This highly informative book uncovers all the behind-the-scenes action, from the latest developments in car technology, to efforts to make F1 more diverse and put female drivers on the grid. With Dragan Kordic’s strikingly vivid illustrations and stunning silver foil cover detail, Formula Fast is in pole position to become the kid in your life’s favorite book of the forthcoming season.

Readers will be gripped by the dynamic driving – sorry writing – style of Matt Ralphs (the author of Spooky Celebrations Around the World), fun facts and cutting-edge technical detail, alongside stunning artwork and eye-catching silver foil design details.

Starting with a fun and friendly introduction to all things Formula One – what is a Grand Prix? How many drivers race? What are the rules? – the book revs up by touching on the early days of F1, before steering the reader through all key aspects of the modern sport, featuring in-depth guides to telemetry set-ups and tyre options, profiles of famous racing teams and truly mind-blowing driver stats, a timeline of technical developments and a glossary of key terms.

Packed with facts and stats for dedicated petrol-heads, but accessible to those who are simply car curious, this eye-catching book is all set to top the podium in 2026. Take a closer look at Formula Fast: Your Ultimate Guide to Formula One Racing here.
