'A fascinating journey through Nicholas's pre-F1 life and his experiences since joining Red Bull' Autosport

Life in the Pitlane is an inspiring memoir from Red Bull's senior engineer Calum Nicholas that will open up the world of Formula 1 like never before.

Replete with all the high-octane tales and behind the scenes details you'd expect from a life lived next to the fast lane, Life in the Pitlane will detail the realities of life off the track; the good and the bad, with a particular spotlight on diversity and inclusion within the sport, and all the entertaining stories and behind the scenes details fans of F1 will be looking for.

Life in the Pitlane brings a brand-new perspective to the sport, as Calum reflects on his career so far, how the sport has changed for those working in it, the realities of life on the road and the future he hopes lies ahead.©2025 Calum Nicholas (P)2025 Hachette Audio UK Career Success Sports

Very well written insightful book. Even as a seasoned fan I learned a decent amount. Calum's narrative performance is also incredible. Really enjoyed learning about his background in the inner workings of the UK motorsports scene.

Wonderful listen!

It’s informative and gives a deeper dive into the F1 pitlane which we don’t get much of normally through watching races or the Netflix show Drive to Survive

Fascinating

When Netflix brought out “ Drive to Survive” our family became instant F1 Fans. Watching each race from that time brought us to know familiar faces in the Garage.

This year I had not seen Cal in the garage and look up where the was. I was pleasantly surprised that he had written a book. I immediately bought it on Audio book and again was pleasantly surprised that he was also the reader, which gave it a “I’m there with him” feel.

Great book on so many inspires we don’t see, as well as explaining what we actually see and what it takes to do it.

Thank Calum

Easy going & informative

I’m glad Calum narrated his own book. I don’t think having someone else narrate your writing would’ve had the same impact. I also think once he leaves the paddock he 100% could have another great career narrating other books.

Amazing story

I enjoyed hearing his journey into F1 and the many insights provided. Not sure if his personal rant on the problems with the cost cap was warranted or completely accurate.

Some great insight

I loved the complete transparency of his path to getting into F1. The clear goal of where he wanted to be. I also liked how he highlighted the obvious nepotism and boys club attitude the sport has. I would recommend this to anyone. Even if they’re not a fan of the sport. Just an overall great story to read/listen to when I do my long days driving a truck.

Brilliantly written
