Description
This book dedicated to the history of Formula 1 aims to establish itself as a reference title on the subject. Conceived as a large-format bilingual French English illustrated book, it retraces more than 75 years of motor racing through an exceptional selection of photographs from the archives of AFP, DPPI and Getty Images. The book brings together numerous previously unpublished and rarely seen images, covering not only the defining moments of the championship but also more intimate and behind-the-scenes moments from the history of teams, drivers and the sport itself. The texts are written by two of the most respected authors in motorsport journalism: French author Lionel Froissart, who explores the drivers, rivalries and legendary duels that shaped Formula 1, and British author Paul Fearnley, who examines the technical evolution, innovation and major transformations of the sport over the decades.
