The cover features illustrations of all 20 tracks and the flags of the host country and inside there is plenty of opportunity for tracking the stats, data and facts as the season progresses. The first section gives you a place to record your predictions for the upcoming season, who will win, who will get the most pole positions, what the main talking point will be. There is also a chart to complete showing the teams, drivers and their numbers (a great thing to have to refer back to throughout the season!) Then each of the 20 races get it's own page with places to fill in the top 3 qualifiers, the points finishers in the race and the standings in both the driver's and constructor's championships. You can also fill in the unique things that happen in each race, from the weather to the fastest pitstop. Each page also gives you loads of facts and information about the race and is illustrated with a picture - sometimes picturing general racing things and sometimes things specific to that race. At the back there are places to record the final standings in the the championships, a graph to complete to show how the points were distributed over the season, an F1 greats quiz and a place to put your Formula 1 driver dreams down on paper and design your own helmet and decide what kind of driver you'd be!
