Ferrari need to read it.
Their strategy monkeys can't read.

Read over 40% of it and, so far, has exceeded my expectations. Really worth it.

Worth it as a good read about F1 or also for how you can apply lessons to life/work etc?

The book has strategy lessons in it, that of course apply to F1, but also valid elsewhere. That is what I value the most.

Does it bring anything new for the people who really have extensive knowledge of F1 state affairs ?

Just downloaded the ebook. I'm on page 23 now (Introduction) and I have to say it's quite candidly written. Parr doesn't hold back when explaining the rationale for this book. Especially Bernie does not come off well.
I don't think Parr does either. So far the yelled subtext is 'I don't like to talk about how brilliant I am but I guess I did achieve a hell of a lot and yes, other people might say I am pretty hot shit but modesty forbids, also buy my other book.'

Kindle edition €2.99, very cheap indeed. Once I've read it will decide whether to get a hard copy. I'm sceptical, not a fan of Adam Parr.

I agree - it should be "Formula 1"
