  Everyone wonders what's going on behind the closed doors of the Formula One paddock, where the public is not admitted and where a proper electronic pass is required to enter. This book unveils all the details of this closely guarded area. It features more than 600 photographs (some of them showing how paddocks looked as far back as the 1950s), which allow the reader to understand what the 3000 plus people working there are doing. It shows how motorhomes are mounted, what is inside these luxury rolling apartments, how the media centre works, what the press officers are doing, how the television compound works and so on. The book also features dozens of interviews with key personalities who explain their lives.
