Summary
Total Competition is the most compelling, comprehensive and revealing insight into what it takes to get to the top in Formula One that has ever been published.
Across four decades, Ross Brawn was one of the most innovative and successful technical directors and then team principals in Formula One. Leading Benetton, Ferrari, Honda, Brawn and Mercedes, he worked with drivers such as Michael Schumacher, Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton to make them world champions. In 2017, he was appointed F1's managing director, motor sports, by the sport's new owners Liberty Media. Now, in this fascinating book written with Adam Parr (who was CEO and then chairman of Williams for five years), he looks back over his career and methods to assess how he did it, and where occasionally he got things wrong.
Total Competition is a definitive portrait of modern motorsport. In the book, Brawn and Parr explore the unique pressures of Formula One, their battles with Bernie Ecclestone, and the cut-throat world they inhabited, where coming second is never good enough. This book will appeal not only to the millions of Formula One fans who want to understand how Brawn operates, it will also provide many lessons in how to achieve your own business goals.

Brilliantly insightful
I love F1 and think Ross Brawn is a God! BUT, I did not know Adam Parr or his story. Adam has created a structure for this book that a) makes it easy to consume and b) entices RB to be clear and candid about the people and machinations of F1 AND how the lessons on strategy impact the real world!
It is genuinely worth the money and more importantly the time! Excellent!

Interesting..
Interesting but a little dry. Always order the authors voice to as opposed to narrator

Ross Brawn is great, the other guy is not
Ross Brawn is great, worth it for his extracts, the other guy is more filler rather than content

Adam Parr is dull!
If you love F1 then half of this book is really interesting. Anything Ross Brawn has to say keeps you listening but every time Adam Parr talks it could send you to sleep. Why he waffles on about some Sun Tzu book is beyond me. It needs all his bits cutting out and just have the Brawn bits in there.

Good story of behind the scenes of F1
Nice story about a behind the scenes look at F1 and how they run the teams. I found the narrators quite interesting and they kept me interested in the story they in my opinion are good for this book.
