About this ebook

Packed with intrigue, high-stakes schemes, and adrenalin-fueled action on-and-off the track, the brilliant and gripping inside story of Formula One’s most fascinating, swagger-rich, and win-at-all-costs team, Red Bull Racing, now celebrating its twentieth anniversary.

A propulsive, dramatic thrill ride, Growing Wings chronicles two incredible decades of racing as it tells the story of one of F1’s boldest teams, the legendary Red Bull, from its earliest drivers to pioneering seasons for Coulthard, Webber and Vettel, among others in F1’s heralded cast.

With exclusive access to Red Bull’s inner sanctum, leading F1 journalist and author Ben Hunt probes the operations of a world-leading Formula One team, from the personalities, rivalries, turbulence, and controversies to the game-changing tech, leadership strategies, and mindset of the racing drivers themselves.

With Red Bull’s cooperation, yet maintaining journalistic independence, Ben Hunt delivers a thrilling, frank, and unvarnished behind-the-scenes account of how the paddock's loudest upstarts achieved team alchemy with the promotion of a driver called Max Verstappen, and what it means to go, learn, go again, tweak, test, and ultimately dominate in a way never before seen in elite auto racing.

Growing Wings includes 16 pages of color photos.
