I like Formula One and have since the sixties, been following it that long as well even though I live in the U.S. Here you have the perfect book for anyone who likes F-One for you have it all the controversy, the rivalry all of the technology changes and it is all current as in the drivers now and the tech now as well. the author goes into the why and that is a good part of the story. it is also interesting how some teams are doing better at that than others. A very good book

I loved this book; it was beautifully illustrated, filled with incredible stories and, honestly, the book I have reviewed this year I would most like to own for myself. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Formula One's history and it is a coffee table book par excellence . . . 5 Stars (for sure) !!

Fabulous book for lovers of high-octane thrills and spills.

F1 has been on the calendar for a long time and this book comprehensively charts its history, looking at the drivers, circuits, controversies, characters, technology and a lot more.

Loads of pictures and history, referencing iconic drivers such as Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher and Jim Clark, as well as the current icons including Lewis Hamilton.

The book also goes behind the scenes, looking at the backers and the politics. It makes for a fascinating read.

I was sent an ARC of this book by Quarto Publishing Group - Ivy Press, in return for an honest appraisal.

Guenther Steiner is an absolute gem and I am so glad he was snagged for this intro. This book excellently chronicles the rise of Formula One throughout history, from the 50's to today, and made me, as a massive F1 fan, immeasurably happy to get my hands on and digest.

I can’t wait to buy this book for my coffee table.

I really enjoyed that this book mixed history with current events. I was glad that it wasn’t too dense/wordy. The photography was wonderful. A great book for someone who enjoys Formula 1 or someone just getting into the sport. At point some of the sections felt unfinished and like they end abruptly. I kind of wish that there was more detail but also i’m glad that there wasn’t because it’s a great starting place.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I've even an f1 fan for almost 10 year now, so it was great to read a book that touches on some F1 facts. It's great for people who don't know a lot about f1 or older f1 fans to read about the sport. Of course it is hard to talk about a all the great drivers, I just feel it could've touched up on a couple more personalities in the sport or maybe mention all the world champions.

My favor part were the images. It's always refreshing to see how the cars have changed through the years.

A very enjoyable book to read probably more so if you are an ardent F1 fan! I enjoyed the fact the book covered all things F1 from how it got from the original races to the series we now currently have and how the cars themselves developed over time too. Nice trip down memory lane too with the chapter on the F1 drivers, a fair number sadly no longer with us having perished pursuing the sport they loved.

Thank you NetGalley for the free ARC. Enjoyed this retrospective. I have been a F1 fan since childhood in the late 60's and 70's. I remember crushing on Jackie Ickx and the horrible Jochen Rindt accident. I remember how dangerous the races were. I am still a fan and have loved seeing safety and cars evolve over time. I grew up in Europe where F1 was always a fan favorite and am glad it is becoming more so in the US.

As a huge Formula One fan I was super excited about this book and it provided everything I wanted

I loved how I learnt facts and stories from the past that I didn’t know happened. Of course there is some stories missing but with 20+ races each year, it would be hard to include everything in one book

It had great imagery and quotes direct from drivers

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced readers copy of this book
