Inside Red Bull Racing
Praise for Nazaré: Life and Death With the Big Wave Surfers, by Matt Majendie: WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR NOMINEE A SUNDAY TIMES SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Like an action movie with a fast-paced pulse-racing soundtrack' - The Times 2000 workers, 24 races, two drivers, one target. 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. No journalist has been given the level of access that Majendie enjoyed as he found himself walking the secretive corridors of the hi-tech team factory in the UK; trackside at race after race; inside the garage, on the driver's luxury yachts, and even racing the streets of Monaco with Max Verstappen, the greatest driver of this, and perhaps any, era, as he chases history. 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.

Former L’Équipe journalist Guy Roger has traversed Europe to talk to the officials and journalists who were there, to interview Merckx’s former adversaries and teammates, and to reveal their accounts of racing with and against him. Filled with anecdotes and previously untold memories, the book also looks back at the surreal Merckx years through the eyes of some of his greatest admirers such as Ned Boulting, Carlton Kirby, Nige Tassell, Andy McGrath and Phil Cavell. Eddy Merckx himself looks back at his life in a moving afterword, making this the ultimate celebration of a truly fascinating man.

The Importance of Being Miserable
Humans just want to be happy, yes? After all, that’s what life’s all about. Well ... no. It turns out that, for a huge chunk of history, feeling good was the furthest thing from our minds. Expecting life to be fun and fulfilling (or, if all else fails, fine) is actually a very recent phenomenon. And there’s every reason to think that it’s making us sad. A playful tour of Western ‘progress’, from ancient philosophers to modern day pop stars via pills, priests, Proust and the plague, The Importance of Being Miserable explores how, why and when we all started to pursue happiness. And why feeling bad may not actually be all that bad.

My Own Dear People

This is one of the best books I have read in a long, long time." - Jerry Stahl, author of Nein, Nein, Nein!Nyjah Messado has built a life away from home, but he is haunted not by a ghost, but by a memory: the moment he witnessed a brutal sexual assault and chose silence. Raised within the rigid masculine codes of an elite Jamaican boys' school, Nyjah learns early what is expected of him: loyalty to other men, contempt for weakness, and the careful management of guilt. Years later, returning to Montego Bay, he must navigate a city shaped by class divisions, colonial legacies and violence, while confronting the moral cost of what he failed to do. My Own Dear People is a fierce, lyrical coming-of-age novel about masculinity, complicity and self-deception. Unflinching in its treatment of rape culture and homophobia, it asks whether forgiveness, of others, or of oneself, is ever truly possible.
