THIS MONTH Rodi Basso • Engineering consultant and business coach

IF ADRIAN NEWEY DESIGNED A ROAD CAR… • …it would be a no-compromise work of extreme performance art. Like the Aston Martin Valkyrie, in fact – could this be the fastest road-legal car ever?

MERCEDES’ F1 BUSINESS MODEL EXPLAINED • Formula 1 has a long history of boom and bust manufacturer entries, but Mercedes is showing how an entrepreneurial business approach can shield its grand prix team from automotive industry turmoil

HOW NETFLIX CHANGED FORMULA 1 • For many years grand prix racing didn’t bother to market itself beyond its established fanbase. Then it allowed in a fly-on-the-wall documentary crew.

After a remarkable rookie season, can he now kick on and prove to Red Bull that he’s the only man for the job of being Max Verstappen’s team-mate?

THE LONG ROAD TO REDEMPTION • Scuderia AlphaTauri – a new name with some very familiar faces. Formerly an entry point for young drivers, Red Bull’s junior Formula 1 team now offers career rehab…

NIGEL ROEBUCK’S FORMULA ONE HEROES

THE TYRRELL 011 • The plucky midfielder that claimed the Ford DFV’s 155th and final grand prix victory
