Filling the many gaps in Formula 1 records, this book re-writes the
racing history books. The history of F1 can be neatly divided into
two eras, the first formally ending January 1980 when the terms
'Grand Prix' and 'World Championship' became synonymous, although
there would be three more non-championship races after that date.
However, up to January 1973 OVER HALF of F1 races were NOT included
in the Championship results for the spurious reason that each
country should have just a single F1 race. The classification of
many F1 races as 'non-Championship' did a disservice to the
achievements of drivers of the Fangio, Moss, Clark and Stewart era
and, even more-so, to the four pre-Championship years which began
in 1946. When, today, a commentator says "Rosberg's 16th win equals
the F1 wins of Stirling Moss" this is manifestly untrue. If the
same drivers, in the same F1 cars, compete at the same tracks, and
over a similar distance, then each race deserves to have its place
in the records as a 'Championship quality' event. This book
includes such races alongside contemporary Championship races and,
combined with known figures since 1980, produces what can surely be
accepted as 'The Real Score' of Formula 1.
