A fun read for F1 fans. The questions cover a broad range of topics within F1, and there are also a variety of different types of questions. Even the most seasoned F1 expert should learn something new. A great gift for the motorsport enthusiast in your life.

I’ve only been watching F1 for the last few seasons so I was really excited to learn more about the sport and the drivers. This book promised to do so in a fun and unique way and it was exactly that. It was a good format with the different sections and nice pictures.

Would be a good gift for other people who are new to the sport or looking to get into it, especially in the offseason to keep you busy with no races!

Thank you NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an ARC.

A fun and fact filled book, perfect for every F1 fan! Well laid out, and the photos add to the fun.

I think the idea is excellent for people who love F1- you gave to identify/ match various courses with bends in photos etc. It didn't work on kindle AT ALL but i will definitely buy the actual book for Xmas

A brilliant quiz book that is perfect for that F1 fan in your life.

Tested this on my friend who got nearly everything right.

Would make a perfect birthday or Christmas present.

As a woman who loves to watch F1 (since my teens), I love this book.

Although it is a quiz book, there is so much to learn through the quizzes. I asked my husband (also an avid F1 fan) some of the questions, and be could not answer one.

I am going to absorb every bit of information to astound his friends (who continue to be surprised that women can love this sport.)

Amazing book with fantastic images and incredible F1 information. If you even have a mild interest in F1, you should get this book.

INCREDIBLE photos, which were really the best part of the book in my opinion.
this was an entertaining and fun way to spend time with friends and family, and gave us a way to connect and talk about a sport that we all love.
with that being said i think this one might be a better and more fun pick for newer fans.

I wanted to like this book and was excited, initially, to read it. However, I was actually disappointed with the book and it did not really keep my interest, even though I am a long-time "fan" of Formula 1.

The photographs are wonderful and I, personally, would have preferred the photographer's work in more of a coffee table type book as opposed to a quiz book.

Back to my love of F1 and what better time as its Race Week!

I have loved F1 for years but I am not one for remembering all the dates and details. However when reading this it really reminded me just how much you casually pick up. I knew more answers than I thought.

It also reminded me of when I went to a F1 race Screenings with the old Badger GP crew (who now run @FantasyGP - a Fantasy F1 game, if you don’t play it already please go and do so, its awesome!). They used to do quiz rounds and this book brings back those joys of testing my F1 knowledge.

If you are an F1 fan, new or old or even just a casual viewer or DTS fan, then there is something for everyone in this quiz book. The different sections split into circuits, drivers, decades etc means you can pick out the bits around your specialist F1 knowledge. A great F1 quiz book

I just did the test with a friend and it was SO enjoyable! As a new F1 fan it has been super helpful to learn in depth about Formula 1. My friend on the other side, who was an older fan, also found it challenging and dynamic. Very good quality pictures and very well organised, as well as perfectly paired with the questions. I loved the book's format and found the questions very interesting. After finishing this book you'll have a much wider knowledge about F1's recent and not so recent history, tracks, drivers and much more. Enjoy!


Also thank you Netgalley for letting me enjoy this ARC!

I spent the weekend doing this whole quiz with my husband and really enjoyed it! I've only been partially watching F1 with him since last season so I wasn't expecting to do very well but I love a good quiz and thought they'd probably mostly be multiple choice questions and I could make some educated guesses. It was indeed mostly multiple choice but there were also some other style questions which were great fun too and something a bit different. I thought my husband would thrash me but he actually won by very little (and halfway through I was ahead and actually thought I might win haha). It was really fun to do though still, even if I am a sore loser.
I loved the way the questions were split up into sections like Circuits, Race Calendar, Drivers and Decades. And then split into multiple rounds within those sections. It felt like a proper pub quiz. It also means you could easily do a bit at a time and just answer one section rather than doing the whole book in one go if you wanted to. I would have liked the answers to be more split into each section though preferably, because even though for me we were planning on doing the whole thing this weekend, I did want to mark each section as we went along. When I flicked to the answer pages though, all the sections follow straight on from each other so you can't mark one section without seeing the answers to future questions and getting spoilers. I'd maybe just have one section per page or make sure each new section starts on a new page so you don't have to look at a page with future answers on when marking a section. Also maybe then with the section titles written bigger near the top of each page so they're easier to find if answering out of order maybe. That's just a personal preference thing though and would help anyone wanting to answer gradually.
My only actual complaint would be that there is one round where the answers in the back are wrong but hopefully that will be fixed in time for publication. Otherwise I thought the book was great! It was really fun to do and even the non-picture rounds have photos for some of the questions which gives you something bright to look at and more insight which I loved. I think this book would make a great gift for any F1 lovers to have some fun showing off and testing their knowledge and I'd definitely recommend it.

I really liked the book's proposal and it's perfect for new fans excited to discover the history of the sport (myself included).

This is the perfect book for any F1 fantic! Lots of questions on each race and specific drivers. This would be a great Christmas gift or birthday present. Would also be fun as a game time would recommend this book!

This is a very cool book for Formula 1 fans especially. But also for newbies.

If you want to put your knowledge of the sport to the test you should definitely pick this up and go through the quiz.

But if you want to learn some things this is also very cool because it will you give you the questions for you to then do your research.

A quiz book about Formula One deals with the tracks, personalities, cars, and miscellaneous aspects of the sport.

It is a great gift for an F1 fan whether they are new or an old fan. it tests your knowledge about the sport.

the only problem I have that I found is that there were errors regarding the answers when having to match the names to the pictures drivers, and matching their ages to the current drivers (e.g. Oscar Piastri is younger than Logan Sargent, but in the book, it was swapped).
