Summary
F1 Heroes: A Century of Speed and Glory
From Nino Farina’s inaugural win, cigar in hand, to the modern-day heroics of Hamilton, this book chronicles the legends of Formula 1. Ascari, Fangio, Lauda, Senna, Prost, and Schumacher roar to life in a spectacular account of victories, iconic cars, and legendary rivalries. It’s also a story of heartbreaking defeats and the unsung heroes, like Gilles Villeneuve, who captured our hearts and became legends in their own right.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
The emotional and technical detail is truly staggering to behold if you’re a long-time F1 fan, a newer or more casual fan, or have maybe even never watched a race before.
Offers capsule histories of each of F1’s seven decades – a helpful cheat sheet for those newly minted fans who can’t yet tell the difference between Phil Hill, Graham Hill and Damon Hill, former champions all.–John Swansburg “New York Times: Book Review”The emotional and technical detail is truly staggering to behold if you’re a long-time F1 fan, a newer or more casual fan, or have maybe even never watched a race before.–Danny Herbert “HotCars.com”The 192-page volume contains more than 200 photos that span 70 years of racing, engineering, danger, and destiny. It shows the pageantry and pathos of the world’s top tier of car racing over the ages, presenting the charismatic men with creative facial hair who piloted cars through the glory days of F1, when machismo and 1970s-era excess were taken as matters of course.–Hannah Elliott “Bloomberg: News”
