Pre-order now: the first book to look at the unstoppable rise of Formula One* As one of the world's most popular sports, and with races in far corners of the globe, Formula One is big business. Its drivers are among the world's most highly paid athletes, and it costs more than a billion pounds to keep its ten teams ticking over. This is a sport where money - the spending of it, the flaunting of it, the ruthless pursuit of it - matters. With unparalleled insight and decades of reporting, Christian Sylt and Caroline Reid describe the pivotal moments which have driven the sport to new heights - the influx of tobacco advertising, the first television deals, the reign of Bernie Ecclestone, and much more. Featuring exclusive interviews with the sport's major players and never-before-heard stories, this is a ground-breaking and revolutionary account about how F1 moved from a pastime for wealthy enthusiasts into one of the world's most-watched sports.

''This is a book that everyone must read. It''s funny, moving and of course it''s often sad. But mainly it''s a beautiful and fascinating and enlightening portrait of the care system, a world that is barely understood by many of us. It is also a proper page turner: the twists and turns and set-backs of his childhood are as gripping as they are shocking. I genuinely couldn''t put it down. This story is more urgent and relevant now than ever.'' - XAND VAN TULLEKEN WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:''What a powerful read, there are no words really to describe the impact it has had on me.'' ?????

A must read for everyone.'' ????? ''What an incredible book. It had me laughing, crying, dreaming about it . . . A true gift. Everyone should read it!'' ????? -------Ashley John-Baptiste grew up in the British care system, living with five different families, without ever being truly part of a family.It wasn''t easy, or straightforward, and Ashley''s ever-changing living situation affected every single part of his life - from his education to his sense of identity to his friendships and his hobbies. And yet, throughout everything his childhood in care threw at him, Ashley remained resilient and found a way to take advantage of the opportunities that came his way.Now Ashley feels able to tell us - vividly and movingly - how, when it felt like the world was turning its back on him, he refused to be an outsider in his own home and set about establishing a new and positive life for himself.Looked After is a memoir written from the heart that pulls no punches but demonstrates that given encouragement and love - and, sometimes, a second chance - a care-experienced boy can become a successful broadcaster, a loving husband and a proud father.---------''Rage-inducing from start to finish. It is such a powerful story, but it''s also a rallying cry for change. It will mean so much to lots of kids out there and should be read by every social worked in the land.'' - WES STREETING''Ashley John-Baptiste joins a high class of writing by upstanding respectful and honourable citizens and professionals, professors and actors, lawyers, doctors, artists and authors, all who happen to have had a life in care. We have every right to tell our story as much as anyone else. Welcome, Ashley.'' - LEMN SISSAY''An inspiring story of triumph over adversity.'' - FATIMA WHITBREAD''Ashley has done the country a great service in shining a light on the inhumane - and at times brutal - way that society supports this most vulnerable group of children. Every politician should read this book and commit to fixing the system.'' - SHARON WHITE''Beautifully written, with such immediacy, clarity and warmth.'' - EAMON McCRORY, Professor of Developmental Neuroscience and Psychopathology at UCL
