In 2025, critically acclaimed writer Matt Majendie spent a season behind the scenes with Formula One team Red Bull Racing during one of the most controversial and dramatic years in the history of the sport.

Join Majendie on the pit wall as Christian Horner's dominant reign as team supremo finally runs its course, as drivers come and go - youngster Liam Lawson brutally axed after just two races - and Verstappen wrestles with the limitations of a car that refuses to be tamed, fighting with rivals like Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, taking the season down to its final minutes. From mechanics to engineers, race strategists to team leaders, head honchos to the thousands who ensure the machine turns, this is F1 racing as you've never seen it.

The Blind Spot
A gripping new account of oligarchy from ‘the most astute social scientist studying the phenomenon today’ (Guardian)
The wealthy and powerful few have dominated the masses throughout most of human history. This is starkly visible now more than ever – today, the gulf between oligarchs and the average citizen is vastly larger than any gap that existed during European serfdom or the slave society of Imperial Rome.
The strange thing is: for the first time in history, this domination is accomplished through democracy. Yet we aren’t in open revolt against the system. In fact, we keep voting to prop it up. Why?
In The Blind Spot, political scientist Jeffrey A. Winters delivers an urgent, incisive account of how we reached this era of in-your-face oligarchy, exposing how modern democracy was designed to protect the interests of the ultra-rich. Tracing the evolution of oligarchy through the democratic era, he demonstrates how the power of the wealthy isn’t just a flaw in our democracy, it was built into its very foundations. Now, in an extraordinary paradox, we exist in a state of ‘participatory inequality’: a world in which 99.99% of us participate openly and freely – democratically, even – in our own ongoing economic exclusion.
But powerful change can begin when we have a clear understanding of where we are and where we deserve to be. As well as shining a light on just how bad our political reality has become, The Blind Spot introduces bold ideas for how we might shift the balance. Even though oligarchs may not cede power willingly, this period of shocking inequality is, Winters shows, an opportunity for genuine, enduring change.

Lion Heart
Lion Heart is the bold and uplifting memoir of Cam Whitnall, a man whose life has been defined by extraordinary bonds with wildlife and a dramatic warzone rescue that brought five lions to safety in the UK.
'If you know what to look for, a lion's face tells you everything. The eyes, the scars, the shape.
Their faces tell the truth about survival, control and what it costs to exist in a world shaped by humans.
Everything I've chosen to do with my life comes back to that.
Because once you've really learned how to look at a lion, and understood the story written across its face, walking away stops being an option.'
When Cam's grandparents bought a dilapidated zoo, once known as the worst in the UK, and brought it back to life, they also created a home for their family.
Cam grew up on the grounds, now known as Hertfordshire Zoo, in a bedroom overlooking the tiger enclosure. His childhood playground, where he and his brothers would play hide-and-seek after hours, was filled with endangered species from around the world. He built deep connections with the animals in their care, even hand-rearing a lion cub called Zara, an experience which inspired a lifelong fascination with big cats.
Over the years, the family business expanded as they also took on The Big Cat Sanctuary with Cam taking the helm as director. He and the sanctuary made global headlines for leading a high-risk rescue mission of five abandoned lions from war-torn Ukraine. The lions were found in states of shellshock and malnourishment and had likely been used for illegal breeding. After ten months of dedicated effort, Cam united Rori, Yuna, Vanda, Amani and Lira in their forever home at the sanctuary and gave them the freedom to walk on grass for the very first time. A momentous milestone in a lifetime dedicated to animal welfare, conservation and rescue.
