Description
*THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*
Why is F1 the perfect example for leadership, motivation and strategy?
And what can we learn from it?
How does a pit crew change four wheels in 1.9 seconds?
And what does that mean for a company like Blackberry?
What is Ron Dennis' secret to good time management?
And how can that help TV producers?
In The Winning Formula, driver, commentator and entrepreneur David Coulthard opens the doors to the secretive world of F1 and reveals in simple, entertaining and utterly compelling terms how he has been able to master this mind-boggling variety of disciplines by applying the skills honed from his years at the top of the world's most demanding motorsport.
By recounting his own stories, and combining them with first-hand experience of stellar individuals such as Lewis Hamilton, Ron Dennis, Sir Frank Williams, Christian Horner and Sebastian Vettel, Coulthard provides a fascinating fly-on-the-wall insight into F1 but at the same time offers an invaluable guide to the business of sport and the sport of business.
