Forever Forward: The Inside Story of Mclaren by Ben Hunt

Similar to Hunt's The Inside Story of Red Bull Racing, this gives a matter of fact overview of key events from McLaren's rise to the championship winning Formula 1 team they currently are.

Having already read The Inside Story of Red Bull Racing, there are some parallels betweent the two accounts, including Christian Horner and Zak Brown's ongoing attempts to impede the opposing team's progress by way of complaints to the FiA and and the whole 'we don't have a number one driver' line. 

Both the Red Bull and McLaren books dedicate time to building a picture of how the current F1 team came to be, and spends time discussing the key drivers in the team's history. This book was concise and was well paced. It focused on the racing and it kept the focus where it needed to be. 

However, listening to the events of Hungary 2024 and the other times Oscar took a backseat to Lando's championship battle was not fun. I will say that in comparison to the Red Bull book, I feel that the author was quite brazen that he clearly likes Lando, even mentioning the book he has written about Lando.

I'm not really invested in McLaren as a team and I'm not a Lando fan, but the book was good.
