The Big Book of Formula 1. 80 Years of Noise and Fury

From Juan Manuel Fangio to Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, you will meet all the legendary drivers here, listen to the sound of engines, and experience brilliant overtakes, fateful crashes, and sudden plot twists. In addition, you will encounter the people in the shadows who bring the dream of Formula 1 to life: team directors and mechanics, designers and engineers, investors and sponsors. The main book about Formula 1 tells the story of their journey, as well as the sequential evolution of technologies in the service of speed and safety. A story of passion and obsessed people who offer us a bright and guaranteed thrilling spectacle every season. "When you think about it, Formula 1 is not that old — it was born in 1950. That’s why it’s so valuable when books about it are written by giants who have many years of experience in the paddock of the 'Queen of Motorsport.' They listen, communicate, absorb stories from the past, and live through all the intrigues of the present — along with the main characters. And, of course, they know plenty of details that you can't find on the internet. That's why I enthusiastically open the work of colleagues who have faithfully served Formula 1 for several decades, without losing a bit of enthusiasm and love for what they do. Three giants of French journalism under one cover is a great gift for us, the readers! Formula 1 is filled with emotions, and it can be difficult, while being very important, to remain objective in evaluating events. For this, one needs to look at everything from different angles. This book is a true treasure, la graale sacre, for all who are in love with Formula 1." — Natalia Fabrichnova, Russian commentator of Formula 1
