Former F1 mechanic turned TV broadcaster Steve Matchett is trapped overnight in New York, in a fogbound JFK Airport with some fellow motor racing enthusiasts.
During the course of the night, and fuelled by regular trips to the departure lounge bar, the three protagonists, drawing upon Matchett's encyclopaedic knowledge of life in the F1 pit lane, decide to piece together the perfect Formula 1 Grand Prix car.
In straightforward, clear and concise language, Matchett explains how the F1 teams have arrived at their current state-of-the-art designs; how, exactly, a Formula 1 car is put together.

Matchett is a good commentator, seems like a likeable fellow and has written a plesant enough book, but the insight into F1 technology and team dynamics is only so-so.
My complaint about the book is that it tends to go into great detail regarding the periphery of Matchett's journey into Formula One, and not enough into the technical acrobatics the mechanics have to perform, both in the garage and on the track.
Why, I recall perhaps the most compelling chapter wherein Matchett and crew are furiously chasing a hydraulics gremlin that is wreaking havoc with the car's variable suspension.

 AutoRacing1.com - Steve Dean Page
Speedvision's broadcast team of Posey, Bob Varsha, David Hobbs, and Steve Matchett is better than anything to come from an American F1 broadcast, if, for no other reason than Hobbs and Matchett provide the color commentary.
Matchett was a member of the Benetton team during the Michael Schumacher salad days.
Matchett says far fewer words than the rest of the crew, but makes the most of his opportunities.

 Wine Sales Information - The Mechanic's Tale: Life in the Pit-Lanes of Formula One (Steve Matchett)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Though many think this book as a sequel to Matchett's first novel, "Life in the Fast Lane", its main thrust is instead Matchett's career path from a mechanic working in both Ferrari and BMW to the Benetton Formula One Team to his resignation and transition from champion race mechanic to writer.
Matchett also quashes notions about Benetton having a 1st and 2nd driver - all cars are created equal from the chassis to its minutest parts.
I was disappointed with the exposition as the author seem unable to decide whether the book is about his career path or an analysis of a Grand Prix event.
