This is the first contemporary account of life inside Formula One written by one of the central players of the time.

Adam Parr, Chief Executive and chairman of the Williams F1 Team between 2006 and 2012, explores the themes of power-politics, money and sport during a period of great turbulence inside and outside Formula One. The title is no accident: Parr and the other players strive to shape the sport in the way that will best serve the needs of their own teams, using every available resource and tactic while Bernie Ecclestone fosters and exploits divisions to promote his interests.

With a foreword by Max Mosley, and presented in the format of a graphic novel, "The Art of War - Five Years in Formula One" brings to life the intense competition in one of the world's most followed sports.

But its significance goes beyond motor sport. The struggles by the sport's regulator, the FIA, to introduce financial sanity and the efforts of others to prevent them from succeeding are relevant to many other professional sports in which money is playing an increasingly significant role.

And outside the world of sport, the book shows how people behave in an environment of intense competition: the strategies they adopt and the way they execute them.

One year later. Nothing has changed. Yet.
