About this listen

 'A fascinating journey through Nicholas's pre-F1 life and his experiences since joining Red Bull' Autosport

Life in the Pitlane is an inspiring memoir from Red Bull's senior engineer Calum Nicholas that will open up the world of Formula 1 like never before.

Replete with all the high-octane tales and behind the scenes details you'd expect from a life lived next to the fast lane, Life in the Pitlane will detail the realities of life off the track; the good and the bad, with a particular spotlight on diversity and inclusion within the sport, and all the entertaining stories and behind the scenes details fans of F1 will be looking for.

Life in the Pitlane brings a brand-new perspective to the sport, as Calum reflects on his career so far, how the sport has changed for those working in it, the realities of life on the road and the future he hopes lies ahead.©2025 Calum Nicholas (P)2025 Hachette Audio UK Career Success Sports

A really enjoyable listen. the book is narrated well by the written and brings the book to life.
I have listened to several Motorsport books and whilst the general background is similar, the book is actually very different. There are story's of pitlane antics etc, but this book goes deeper than that and looks to help break down barriers and will be inspiring to the younger generation. As somebody that works with apprentices, I will be advising them to read this book as inspiration on how to be successful.
Highly recommended

Inspirational and enjoyable

A good overview how the F1 industry can be. Calum has outlined is personal experience and I some case things that have worked for him, but he layers a clear formula and advice as to what made him succeed. His push for equality along with many others is what is needed for the future of F1 Industry that many are growing to love.

Fascinating insight into a F1 Engineer

Considering it’s a book about F1, it’s really slow. I would’ve preferred to read a book with some character. Shame really.

What should be interesting,is not!
