The enthralling account from from Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing tackling life and leadership in the high-stakes world of Formula 1.

Zak Brown led one of F1’s most iconic teams to the 2024 Constructors’ Championship after over a quarter of a century. McLaren Racing’s return to the top has gone hand in hand with a well-earned reputation for team harmony, fairness and loyalty. Now Zak’s chosen to invite readers in to experience it for themselves, with all the honesty, conviction and good humour he has brought to leading one of the most storied teams in motorsport back to the front of the grid.

Seven Tenths of Second will take readers behind the scenes and into the paddock and boardroom to explore how the team has fought its way back to the top under Zak’s leadership, and shine a light on what it takes to succeed in a sport that constantly pushes the boundaries of technology, innovation and engineering.

Sharing stories and lessons acquired through a life in motorsport, Seven Tenths of a Second will offer unprecedented insights into life at McLaren Racing and beyond.

This is such a good book when I got this to read i could not put it down and just kept on reading it. I love how this shows where Zack has come from and how he has got to where he is today. I also love hearing about how mclaren was when he joined and how he helped to turn it into a winning team from one of the worst. There is a lot to take from this book that can help everyone who reads it achieve there best. Well done Zack on such a good book to read

an amazing Book to listen too

The contents of the book are fascinating. A real inside look into the business side of F1, the stories are brilliant and the business lessons you can take away are priceless.

The narrator is good, a few Canadian pronunciations which is odd as Zak is American.

One word of warning, Zak Brown is American, and so is his way of doing business. He comes accorss as Brash and almost egotistical at times to the British ear, but that is just the American way of acting in business.

A fascinating insight

A good insight into the inner workins of F1 and sports economics. Felt it lacked depth in certain areas and such a shame zak didn't read it himself. But overall a good listen would definitely recommend to any F1 fan.

Really interesting and inspiring. Encouraging for young people who might find it difficult to engage at school. Would be even better if it was read by Zak.
