## Description

From the Publisher

Review: Essential for the Library of Formula 1 Enthusiasts - Well written guide to understanding the world of Formula 1 racing. Beginning with a detailed explanation of the principal jobs in each organization, the author takes the reader step by step into how teams function. Reading the back stories behind the infamous rivalry of Mercedes Toto Wolff and Red Bull Christian Horner was fascinating. Chapter 2 details the history of Formula 1 racing, including the woeful lack of protective equipment in the early days. Famous drivers from the past like Jan Manuel Fangio are features, along with the evolution of racing engines and design by manufacturer. The book then covers the extraordinary technology of aerodynamics, engine power evolution. Racing circuits are shown for all the major racing venues, including some history and some that are no longer being used. The governing body is featured with the process of making rules for all the teams to follow, and those that push those limits, bending the rules to the breaking point. Subsequent chapters discuss the role of money in financing and influence in the sport, technological data, tires and strategy. Throughout the book are extraordinary candid and action photographs that would alone make the book a must-have for the Formula 1 enthusiast. My only quibble is the book ends a bit abruptly, and I would have liked to see another chapter bringing all the information together in some way, or looking to the future. Overall, highly recommend for the die-hard racing fan, and a great book for the casual fan who would enjoy the races more by understanding the teams and personalities behind the scenes.
Review: Nice Book - Beautiful Photos - Purchased as a gift for a long-time Formula 1 fan - he loved it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive! Great for New Fans and Longtime Fans!
*by M***E on May 30, 2023*

Wow! First, this is so visually stunning! Photos take center stage and do not fail to impress. You will be captivated by page after page of glossy photos, many of which you may have never seen. I am really blown away by these gorgeous photos. And, the layout is perfect. You can tell this is created by a genuine professional because the lay-out pulls your eye from one exciting thing to the next. Much like the sport itself, the book is really dynamic! The covers are matte with a pop of glossiness for the title on the front and a glossy photo on the back. It's a really chic look! And the paper stock is excellent: glossy and thick. It withstand a lifetime of flipping! Everything here is such high quality! This is such a brilliant combination of Formula 1 history, rules, famous faces, tracks, etc. This is great for a beginner but (remarkably) equally as great for a longtime fan! Everyone will find something to like here! My better-half has been stuck in this book for the last ninety minutes. While I enjoyed it from a learning perspective, he is devouring it from a fan's perceptive. See, something for everyone! A great book to add to your personal library! So comprehensive! Highly, highly recommended!
