Pressure - Simon Lazenby [KSIĄŻKA]

As lead presenter for Sky Sports Formula One live coverage, Simon Lazenby is at the centre of all the Grand Prix race-weekend action. In this book, he takes us off camera, to give us exclusive, high-level behind-the-scenes access to this multi-billion pound sports spectacle.Drawing on over a decade's accumulated first-hand knowledge and connections across the paddock, Simon selects twenty-five key individuals within the teams and the overall organisation, from strategists and comms directors to riggers and truckies, through drivers and mechanics, and talks to each in depth about their role, how it fits into the bigger picture, and about what it takes to win.We'll see split-second mid-race decision-making at the pitwall, lightning physical and technical efficiency in the pitlane, cliff-edge brinkmanship in eye-watering board room deals, emergency medical interventions, genius design innovation and much more inside track action. This will be a unique insight into human performance, ingenuity and specialist skill at the highest level, bringing man and machine together to compete at speeds of 230 miles per hour.
