Part of the issue about writing more exposing subjects is F1’s lack of big personality at the top. One can write about Bernie Ecclestone and almost as a by-product write about the intricacies of F1’s business model and relationship with FIA. Bernie is the ‘draw’, but all the proper digging can come along with it. Is anyone from Liberty worth writing about? No. Who are the people behind Dorilton Capital? All the teams are owned by faceless entities now bar maybe Stroll and Haas. None of the big hitters are actually going to sell books off their back of them. As big as F1 is now, it doesn’t have many big-decision makers who are worth writing about. The Rich Energy saga is largely sellable because of William Storey as a person people recognise.

I have my fingers crossed a publisher will acquire your book—I’d be one of the first in line to purchase it, it sounds fascinating. (I read and really enjoyed Racing with Rich Energy, btw!) And if anyone ever writes that 900-page F1 tome, I’ll read that too. 😂🫶🏼

Thank you so much, Juliana!! Writing books is my childhood dream and it has been honestly incredible to work in such a long format! (Also: the chances of me being the person to write that 900-page F1 tome..................... extremely high hahahaha)
