This book is the first in a multi-volume, decade-by-decade series
covering the entire history of Formula 1 through its teams and
cars. The series launches with the 1960s, when the British came to
predominate after the rule of Italian and German manufacturers in
the previous decade. All ten World Champions of the decade came
from the English-speaking world - Britain, the USA, Australia and
New Zealand - and most of the successful cars were British-built
too, from Cooper, BRM, Lotus and Brabham. This was an era when
small teams and privateers were involved in significant numbers and
they are all covered, all the way to the most obscure and
unsuccessful. This book shines new light on many areas of the sport
and will be treasured by all Formula 1 enthusiasts.Year-by-year
treatment covers each season in fascinating depth, running through
the teams - and their various cars - in order of importance.Works
teams form the core of the book: BRM, Ferrari and Lotus
participated throughout the decade, while Cooper, Porsche, Honda,
Brabham, Eagle, McLaren and Matra were the other winning
marques.Privateer teams in all their colourful diversity are a
special dimension of this book, topped by Rob Walker Racing, the
finest privateer operation in Formula 1 history, and a winner in
this decade with Stirling Moss and Jo Siffert. Privateers range
from well-known names to one-race wonders long forgotten by even
the most dedicated enthusiasts.Over 400 photos - in colour wherever
possible - show every type of car raced by every team, presenting a
comprehensive survey of all participants.The sweep of the decade
covers rapid technical development, including monocoque chassis,
ever-wider tyres and aerodynamic wings.Detailed text includes car
specifications and technical essentials.
