Description
There are two faces to Formula One - the public and the private. Behind the highly polished public facade - the drivers, the cars and the televised races - the politics about the shape of the sport are played out and the power struggles over control go on until deals are done. This volume seeks to tell both stories, interweaving the history and the politics, the public and the private, with a clear emphasis on the people. It focuses on the drivers and the team bosses and how they had to find the edge of what was possible and stay there to make it all happen.
