Over the years, Lee McKenzie has been at the heart some of the biggest moments in the history of the F1; championships won and lost, cheating, crashing and heartbreaking accidents. Sharing the highs and lows with world-class drivers winning 23 world titles and 7 world champions (one for only 30 seconds), INSIDE F1 is an enthralling behind-the-scenes account of life in the fastest lane there is.
F1 is one of the most watched sports on the planet with some of the highest paid athletes in the world. For over a decade Lee McKenzie has been at the heart of it all. Thanks to a relaxed but informative interview style, she has become one of the most respected F1 presenters and interviewers in the sport, with drivers requesting her for interviews because of her tough but fair approach.
Over the years, Lee has shared hire cars in GP2 with Lewis Hamilton when they both hoped to make it to F1. She took a horse from England to Michael Schumacher's ranch in Switzerland to compete against him in a western riding competition and she went to film with the current world champion Max Verstappen when he was too young to legally drive on the roads. And motorsport fans still talk about Lee's funny but brilliant interviews with Sebastian Vettel over the years. It's these personal stories and relationships that give this book such a unique perspective on Formula 1 and the drivers that make it a global sport.
