The appetite for ‘behind-the-scenes’ access has grown as well — hence this book. How F1 Works shines a spotlight on every area of the sport, from the minutiae of team operations to the construction of a circuit, from the workings of the ‘cost cap’ to the intricacies of hosting a race. The book then looks at how all the various elements and roles come together over a race weekend to put on the spectacle of a grand prix. All F1 fans will find this book a deeply rewarding and informative companion that will enhance their appreciation of the world’s most glamorous sport.

Produced between 1999 and 2004 in Modena coupé, Spider convertible and Challenge Stradale form, the Ferrari 360 marked a turning point for the brand. With its aluminium-spaceframe chassis and curvaceous new styling, it set the blueprint for two decades of Ferrari design and engineering. Offering improved ergonomics and everyday usability without sacrificing performance, the 360 remains one of the most accessible and desirable Ferraris, praised for its balance of practicality, power, and presence. Launched in 1999 with the elegant 360 Modena coupé, the Ferrari 360 marked a bold new chapter in Maranello’s history. It was soon joined by the convertible 360 Spider and the lightweight, track-focused Challenge Stradale – each a masterclass in performance and design. In true Ferrari fashion, competition versions of the 360 were also produced, both for the exclusive Ferrari Challenge series and for top-level national and international GT racing. Although the 360 followed a proud tradition of mid-engined, V8-powered, two-seat Ferraris, its all-aluminium chassis and curvaceous Pininfarina styling signalled a shift toward the future – one that combined breathtaking performance with an accessible driving experience. By the end of production in 2004, over 17,000 had been built – the highest production volume for any Ferrari up to that point. More than just a performance icon, the 360 introduced a new ethos: to offer Ferraris that were more accessible to a wider range of customers, with improved interior space, ergonomics and drivability. Today, it has become a favourite among both first-time Ferrari buyers and seasoned collectors, known for its relative affordability, stunning performance, reliability and distinctive character.
