ferocious of sports and the incredible sportsmen who drive at the
edge in pursuit of greatness, it is time to choose your favorite F1

UPDATED EDITION With over 300 photographs - from the 1950s to the
present day and many previously unpublished - this stunning book is
the ultimate celebration of Formula One. This new updated version
includes photographs from Rosberg's winning and retiring year. From
the charismatic rivalries of Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss
and the highly competitive Championship battles of Alain Prost and
Ayrton Senna, through to the historic tales of Monaco's winding
course and the atmospheric crowds of Monza, the adrenaline-fueled,
high-octane world of Formula One has created some of the greatest
moments in sporting history. Chronicling both the changing face of
the teams and their cars, from Lotus and Cooper to Williams and
Ferrari, and of course the legendary drivers who have pushed their
machines and themselves to the limits, these incredible photographs
are from the archive of Bernard Cahier and his son, Paul- Henri who
have been trackside capturing the drama of the Formula One
Championships since the 1950s. Brought to life by Formula One
correspondent Maurice Hamilton, they tell the story behind the
infamous circuits that have played host to intense rivalries which
have produced moments of tragedy and triumph that read like a film
script.
The subject of this book is Ferrari's racing history from 1960 to
1965, a period that was one of the most successful in the marque's
history so far. In this era, which began with completion of the
transition from front-engined to rear-engined configuration,
Scuderia Ferrari won just about everything with a variety of iconic
machinery that included the 'shark-nose' 156 and the fabled 250
GTO. Driving Formula 1 Ferraris, Phil Hill and John Surtees
delivered two World Championship titles in the space of four years.
Ferrari sports cars racked up a string of six consecutive victories
in the Le Mans 24 Hours, a feat subsequently surpassed only by
Porsche. This book covers this period in detail for the first time
and exclusively features the work of one of the greatest racing
photographers ever.
