Grand Prix: The Complete Book of Formula 1 Racing

From the first race at Kyalami, South Africa, until October when the U.S. Grand Prix and the Grand Prix of Mexico take place, the exotic cars of Formula 1 are objects of affection and despair. The world’s greatest drivers, with a zest for life and a tremendous talent for packing in experience, race them at speeds of 190 miles per hour. The mechanics, completely dedicated to their jobs, almost ruin their lives keeping these unusual creations running. The car and component manufacturers, the tire companies, the sponsors, the organizers, the timekeepers, the marshals, and the team managers are all part of this frantic scene that “hooks” you solidly for life.

GRAND PRIX tells all about Formula 1 — what it is, its history, meaning and importance, the cars, drivers, constructors, designers, mechanics, circuits, organization, even about the drivers’ wives and sweethearts. The text is illustrated with over 100 exciting photographs which help to give a complete understanding of Formula 1 racing
