Discover the exclusive, access-all-areas inside story of one of the most successful F1 teams, perfect for fans of Drive to Survive.

The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team was once untouchable.
But now, the winner of seven Drivers' World Championships and eight consecutive Constructors' World Championships must confront the reality of no longer being F1's top dog.

Fully embedded across the 2023 and 2024 seasons, award-winning writer Matt Whyman follows decorated drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, Team Principal Toto Wolff, and the extraordinary men and women that design, build and race the team's cars as they fight back – on and off the track.

From the tension of pre-season testing to the thrill and glamour of race weekends – including events such as Silverstone, Monaco, and the first-ever Las Vegas Grand Prix – Whyman provides fascinating insight into the world of the fastest sport on earth and one of its most successful teams.
With exclusive and unprecedented access to the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, Inside Mercedes F1 charts the journey of the Silver Arrows as they face their greatest challenge yet: the race back to the front.
