Aprašymas

Celebrating the Formula 1 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.
In over 75 chapters, Alex Jacques tells the story of Formula 1's rise, fall, and recovery through the extraordinary moments that shaped the direction of 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.
Stories range from moments of awestruck disbelief at the money associated with the sport; huge personalities and the havoc they wreak at every turn; moments of clarity that can change the course of a driver's career; the true story of why Ferrari did not sell to Ford in 1963, which ensured Ferrari would remain ever-present in the F1 World Championship; and how a simple misreading of regulations led to the making of a monster car. These iconic stories and many more will make this an F1 classic title.
Colorfully 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.
