Pitlane Lessons

Brought to you by Penguin.

From the high-octane, high stakes world of F1, these are the key lessons learned at the top level of the sport – and how to take them out of the pitlane and make them work for you

Foreword by JAKE HUMPHREY, author of HIGH PERFORMANCE

F1 teams operate at the highest level of competitive sport. With huge sums of money, global prestige and even lives on the line, they work under constant pressure to survive and succeed.

Drawing on his World Championship-winning experience working for McLaren – one of the most storied and successful F1 teams in history – and his work as a high performance coach and mentor, Marc Priestley shows you lessons learned from and amongst the world’s best. He helps you to think about the challenges you face in work or life the way a world-class F1 team might think about those same challenges.

From conquering stress to building a winning team; from responding to failure to celebrating success – and much more – Marc Priestley takes you inside the pitlane to reveal the secrets of F1 success – and how they can work for you.
