Bernie Collins wrote the book “How to Win a Grand Prix”

Bernie Collins was once the chief strategist of Aston Martin, and before joining this team she worked for McLaren for many years, and last year we quoted her more than once, when she already appeared as a pundit on the Sky Sports channel.

Collins talked about her extensive experience in Formula 1 in her first book, which is published by the British publisher Quercus. The book is called ‘How to Win a Grand Prix’ and will be available in May, but pre-orders are already being accepted.

Interest in Bernie Collins’ literary debut is fueled by the fact that she is already known to fans of Sky Sports television broadcasts, and by the fact that almost ten publishers competed for the right to publish this book.

“Formula 1 drivers are the face of the world championship, but behind each one is a team of several hundred people. On the day of the Grand Prix, it is the team’s chief strategist, working under enormous pressure, who makes split-second tactical decisions on which success depends,” says Richard Milner, director of the publishing house, about the book. – At McLaren and then Force India/Racing Point/Aston Martin F1, Bernie Collins worked with world-class stars including Jenson Button and Sebastian Vettel.

In her book, she invites readers to go behind the scenes of Formula 1, visit both the team’s base and the races, and talk about what it means to prepare two cars and compete in the world championship . When you read Bernie’s fascinating book, you seem to look at Formula 1 with different eyes.”

Those who have already managed to get acquainted with the contents of the book praise it, as its 400 pages tell in detail about all the work processes taking place in various departments of the team, from designing the car to its participation at the Grand Prix. Price.
