In de slipstream
Erwin Jaeggi en Ronald Vording reizen al meer dan tien jaar voor de populaire website Motorsport.com de F1-karavaan achterna, de hele wereld over. In de wintermaanden bezoeken ze de fabrieken van de Formule 1-teams, ze zijn erbij als de eerste kilometers van het nieuwe seizoen worden verreden tijdens het testweekend in Bahrein en doen verslag vanaf de circuits van alle races in het seizoen. Maar wat maken zij achter de schermen mee, onzichtbaar voor de kijkers op TV? Voor het eerst doen zij hun verhaal over hoe zij een F1-weekend beleven, wat zij meemaken in de paddock en wat er off the record met ze gedeeld wordt.
Racing with Rich Energy
Formula One has long maintained a glitzy aura that masks dark and strange goings-on in the background. But with the 2019 season came a force louder than Formula One could dream of muffling: William Storey, the founder of British energy drink startup Rich Energy. Storey became a multimillion-dollar sponsor of the Haas Formula One team a year after records showed Rich Energy having a mere $770 in the bank. He equated his doubters to moon-landing truthers and publicly mocked both the Haas team and the entities winning legal disputes against him. But where were actual cans of Rich Energy, and did the supposed sponsorship funds exist? In the six months between Storey's first race as a Formula One sponsor and his very public exit, he stole the spotlight with a loud mouth and an active Twitter account. Haas team boss Guenther Steiner once described the Rich Energy news cycle as: "I'm getting sick of answering these stupid fucking questions on a race weekend. I've never seen any fucking thing like this." No one else had, either. This book uncovers the complete, bizarre story.
The Co-operative Advantage
Britain needs to nurture a new approach for economic success. Economic change needs to be achieved in ways that are more inclusive in terms of society and sustainable and resilient in terms of the natural environment. One ingredient for this is to harness innovation trends that encourage far stronger doses of economic collaboration. We call this the co-operative advantage.
Lewis Hamilton
Véritable phénomène planétaire des circuits automobiles, Lewis Hamilton est un recordman absolu : premier pilote de couleur à ce niveau de compétition, plus jeune champion du monde, il est, avec Schumacher, le pilote le plus titré de l'histoire de la Formule 1. Mais au-delà de son impressionnant palmarès, Lewis Hamilton est une énigme. Cette biographie dévoile la véritable histoire de ce sportif star dont la famille a émigré en Angleterre pour fuir la pauvreté. On découvre un homme souvent habité par le doute, meurtri par les humiliations racistes et que rien ne prédestinait à un tel succès. Un homme tout en nuances, adepte du véganisme, engagé pour la diversité, mais aussi jet-setteur et homme d’affaires redoutable. C’est le portrait intime d’un véritable champion. Authentique et vrai.

ALIVE
In times where the very concept of ‘nature’ is questioned not only in its philosophical dimension, but in the core of its biological materiality, we need to reconsider the interrelations between architecture and nature. This not only applies to strategies on environmental responsibility but equally on anticipatory human behavior and cultural or demographic variety. To address these challenges this book proposes to embrace the unknown and cultivate the architectural discipline towards an integrated and cross-disciplinary practice. It unravels compelling innovative and forward-thinking design narratives by leading international practitioners and researchers who investigate novel associations between architecture, nature and humanity for a future, alive architecture. Structured around the three closely cross-linked core themes “bioinspiration”, “materiability”, and “intelligence” the book engages with the starting point of an emerging new design field, where the symbiosis of physics, biology, computing and design promises the redefinition of what we call architecture today.
Piers Courage
Piers Courage, a rising motor racing star in the 1960s, was the first man to drive for Frank Williams in Formula 1, and tragically died in a Williams-run car at the 1970 Dutch Grand Prix.
