Formula One: The Legends

I loved this book! I've always been a huge fan of Formula One, especially in the 80s and 90s (I have to admit it was Ayrton Senna on the front that first grabbed my attention) and this did not disappoint. The beautifully illustrated biographies of each of the drivers is not just a retelling of their career and races but looks far more into them as people and their place in the sport, particularly the rivalries that they were closely involved in. It's impossible, of course, to have a list of the greatest drivers that everyone will be settle on but it's very difficult to argue with any of those included here and I really enjoyed learning more about those from the eras before I was old enough to watch.
A must for all fans of Formula one through the ages.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in return for an honest review.

I love F1 and when I saw this book for review I just had to read it! It's a great compilation of F1's greatest legends and their achievements and it really takes down memory lane. This is a well written book, the pictures are of great quality and I just loved Christian Horner's foreword and how he describes racing drivers!

Lights out, and away we go!! The only way this book could be better is if it came with sounds….zoom, zoom, zoom. As a somewhat new Formula One fan (post-Michael, pre-Drive to Survive), I loved reading more about the 32 legends of the sport…legends from Moss to Hamilton (okay and Max) and everyone in between. The few pages per driver were perfect, and the photography…so many amazing photos in this book. I knew it would be great when you have Lewis at COTA (My home track!) on page 3.

This book will be excellent for any Formula One fan, new or old.

Thank you, Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Ivy Press, for the advanced ebook, the perfect treat for a fan counting down the days until car reveals and testing.

Being a F1 fan since the nineties or the early Schumacher years, I found this interesting and was pleased with the picks of the Legends they decided to profile - they were spaced out overs the years that would be able to please any F1 fan from any era.

Would make the perfect coffee table book for any fan.

As a formula one fan i absolutely loved this book! to be honest if i didn't know anything about f1 previously, after reading this book i would be really curious and would go watch a race.
If you're a F1 fan and since we are counting the days for the championship to start I totally recommend this book, it's always so good to know more about something we already enjoy and Formula One: The Legends is perfect for that.
And if you're not a F1 fan (yet) i still recommend this book because you have the opportunity to read more about the legends of the sport and have time to do some research before the championship starts and can start watching.
The pictures were so well chosen, I think I took longer looking at the pictures than reading the text. It was perfect!

Thank you so much Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Ivy Press, for the advanced eARC.

A fantastic book for any F1 fan.

Presenting the history of F1 through the stories of the "Legends" of the sport was a great way to do it. I learnt a lot about the drivers and the sport's history in general. I like that it highlighted drivers who hadn't won championships but were still amazing drivers.

This would be a great coffee table book.


Thanks NetGalley for the ARC
