With a foreword by McLaren CEO Zak Brown and written with inside access, this is the real-time, unfolding story of one of F1's greatest ever teams, as they rise back up from oblivion.Few names in motorsports carry the same authority as McLaren and, with their remarkable victory in the 2024 constructors championship, they are now returning to form in a spectacular way under the leadership of Zak Brown.Going into 2023, Brown's team were the second slowest on the grid, only to end it as arguably the second fastest, after a dramatic mid-season turnaround. In 2024, their driver Lando Norris achieved his first ever Grand Prix win in Miami, and McLaren fiercely competed for podiums against Ferrari and Red Bull.Zak Brown took over a failing team from Ron Dennis in 2018, and his strategic vision is now seeing results.

Guided by the motto motto 'Forever Forward', McLaren has a tradition of coming back from adversity time and time again to take the chequered flag against all the odds. Here they go again.(c) Ben Hunt 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025
