What to expect
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 hijinks 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; 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.
