Description

By: Roger Smith . 2nd hand book in very good condition

Innovative insights into winners and Winning in Grand Prix racing since 1950.

As Formula 1 becomes increasingly a matter of strategy and split- second timing, this authoritative book, providing extraordinary new insights into winners and winning
in Grand Prix racing since 1950, is essential reading for all motorsport enthusiasts. Compiled by an expert analyst with a passion for motor racing, it offers a comprehensive yet concise - and undeniably unusual - spin on the 58-year history of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship, tracking its development from the early post-war years to its current maturity as a TV-fuelled sporting colossus, watched by one billion people worldwide.

Season-by-season, the significant and the subtle alterations to the Grand Prix landscape - for races, circuits, drivers, cars, teams and even danger - are analysed in unprecedented depth and detail, defining each new era and identifying the key developments and their implications. The quest to find a viable methodology with which to
differentiate and compare the achievements of drivers across different eras introduces some fresh vocabulary to Fl and draws up a new hierarchy for Grand Prix winners.

After examining the talent, style and victory profiles of the top drivers, the book confirms that beyond race winners and champions, even beyond some multiple champions, there are three drivers who transcend the rest: the holy trinity of the sport. And just one of these three is truly omnipotent.

Roger Smith has spent his professional life working with and making use of statistics, latterly as Managing Director, Europe, Nielsen Television Ratings, the leading worldwide source of 'currency' viewing figures for broadcasters and advertisers. He has held a lifelong interest in Formula 1.
