Person
As a passionate follower of F1 and one-time technical author and editor at Haynes Publishing, Steve Rendle is ideally qualified to lift the lid on the modern F1 car. His track record of recent years includes authorship of three Haynes Manuals about super-successful F1 cars, namely the Red Bull RB6 (2010-14), the Williams FW14B (1992) and the McLaren MP4/4 (1988). All three received outstanding reviews, Autosport judging his Red Bull book, produced with the team's full collaboration, as giving 'unprecedented insight'. Now a freelance writer and editor, he has brought together all his accumulated technical knowledge and expertise in his latest book. He lives in Somerset.
