Publisher's Summary
How does a pit crew change four wheels in 1.9 seconds?
And what does that mean for a company like Blackberry?
What is Ron Dennis' secret to good time management?
And how can that help TV producers?
Why is F1 the perfect example for leadership, motivation and strategy?
And what can we learn from it?
In The Winning Formula, driver, commentator and entrepreneur David Coulthard opens the doors to the secretive world of F1 and reveals in simple, entertaining and utterly compelling terms how he has been able to master this mind-boggling variety of disciplines by applying the skills honed from his years at the top of the world's most demanding motorsport.
By recounting his own stories and combining them with firsthand experience of stellar individuals such as Lewis Hamilton, Ron Dennis, Sir Frank Williams, Christian Horner and Sebastian Vettel, Coulthard provides a fascinating fly-on-the-wall insight into F1 but at the same time offers an invaluable guide to the business of sport and the sport of business.

Very Interesting
Having read reviews of this book, I was a little concerned there would not be enough about Formula 1, and while David does not wax lyrical about specific races results statistics etc, he does parallel the wonderful sport or Formula 1 with business in a way that keeps it interesting. Great book.

Some great lessons and ideas from a likeable successful F1 driver
Really enjoyed the dialogue and found the contents were good reinforceable lessons about life and business.
Shame Peter didn’t check with DC about pronunciation of Twynholm (it’s a “y” not an “I”) - I know the town well, visiting year after year on annual Galloway holidays till I moved overseas. Try and get there whenever I’m back in UK - love it. My late great-auntie Agnes (Robb) lived there and she babysat DC when he was young apparently.

a very very well written business book. a must
An exceptional book and the the audio was done by a Scott which makes a huge difference.
The lessons learnt here and the examples resonate well especially for DC and his formula 1 experience. I have always known that DC is not the best F1 driver but he is a damn good bloke, very wise and a successful business man. I recommended book and I will be goi g through this book again every year.
Good plug at the last chapter DC well done

I couldn’t finish it
Having just enjoyed Phil Knight’s Shoe Dog, the best memoir I can remember since Agassi’s, I came to The Winning Formula spoilt. Maybe in that context I rate this harsher than I might have otherwise. That said, this was just boring. There were so many missed opportunities here. For instance, recounting being publicly sacked by McLaren, all he said was he was on a boat with Ron Dennis, and it was awkward. Holy cow - tell me more!!!
