Description
Celebrating the Formula One World Championship’s 75th season in unique, sometimes poignant, sometimes shocking and always high-energy style with Channel 4’s face of F1, Alex Jacques.
‘Epic from lights out to checkered flag.’ – Steve Jones
‘Behind the scenes of F1’s rich history. A must read.’ Lee Mckenzie
Over 75 chapters, Alex Jacques tells the story of Formula One’s rise, fall and recovery through the extraordinary moments that shaped the world’s most dramatic sport. Covering the teams, the drivers, the bosses and the pit crews, Alex Jacques truly takes us trackside to feel the energy and hear from the personalities we love to watch.
With stories ranging from the huge personalities that make up the sport – and the hijinks they wreak at every turn – to a simple misreading of regulations that led to the creation of a monster car, to Lewis Hamilton's shock move to Ferrari and Romain Grosjean's death-defying Man on Fire crash, these and many more iconic stories come together to make this a classic F1 title.
Colourfully written and encompassing every aspect of the unique composition of elite motorsport – glamour, rivalry, death, strategy, technology, business and controversy – this book will appeal to old and new fans of the sport, as its mix of known and never-before-told stories provide context to some of the most talked-about incidents in sporting history.
