Find out what really happens in the heat of a Formula One garage from McLaren's former number-one mechanic
Marc 'Elvis' Priestley worked for McLaren Racing as a Formula One
mechanic and member of the pitstop crew from 2000-2009. He worked
with a distinguished list of drivers including Mika Hakkinen, David
Coulthard, Kimi Raikkonen, Jean Alesi, Juan Pablo Montoya, Fernando
Alonso and Lewis Hamilton.
Following his retirement from McLaren, Elvis's first broadcast role
was as pitlane reporter for BBC Radio 5 Live, where he was able to
share his vast technical experience of the cars and equipment with
listeners. Since then, Elvis has become an integral part of Sky's
F1 coverage. He is now a co-host on the channel's studio-based chat
show, The F1 Report, as well as attending a number of Grand Prix
events.

The principle is sound, as are the author’s credentials… [A]
genuine attempt to reflect the day-to-day realities of a relentless
life on the road. And it is relayed by someone who doesn’t feel
duty-bound to toe the corporate line

Here we are privileged to have Marc’s take on the Formula 1 world
from the inside… Marc was lucky enough to work alongside David
Coulthard, Mika Hakkinen, Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton, among
others, but it is his close relationship with Kimi Raikkonen that
we gain most insight into as we read… In short, it is a must read
for any F1 fan, and I can highly recommend
