“Art of the Formula 1 Race Car” – read the review and win one of five copies 12th April 2010, 11:46
At the Goodwood Festival of Speed last year I got talking to James Mann, a photographer who told me he’d been doing studio shots of classic F1 cars for an upcoming book. “Art of the Formula 1 Race Car” is the product of that work, a study of 18 of the most important, interesting and, [...]
“The Science of Formula 1 Design” by David Tremayne (Book review) 24th January 2010, 12:17
With the launch season almost upon us it was quite timely that I received an updated copy of “The Science of Formula 1 Design” (though not timely enough to help with writing Five problems F1 designers face in 2010 earlier this week). The third edition of David Tremayne’s technical guide to F1 offers a clear [...]
“Legendary race cars” (Book review) 13th December 2009, 9:00
Given that I reviewed a new book on Stirling Moss the other day it’s appropriate I should turn to “Legendary race cars” next as he supplied the forward for it. As the title gives away the book picks out 25 of the greatest racing cars in the opinion of author Basem Wasef, who’s written a [...]
“The Brawn Story” (Book review) 12th December 2009, 17:33
There’s no shortage of books on the new world champions – as well as the official Jenson Button book we have this offering from Christopher Hilton plus another from Alan Henry (not yet reviewed). This book (and the others) hit the shelves around the same time Brawn announced it was turning into Mercedes and Button [...]
“Stirling Moss: All my races” (Book review) 11th December 2009, 7:00
This new book chronicles Stirling Moss’s entire racing career, covering almost 600 races in F1, F3, touring cars, sports cars, rallies, time trials and more.
Jenson Button: My championship year (Book review) 9th December 2009, 9:00
Of the glut of books which have appeared on the subject of Britain’s other F1 superstar Lewis Hamilton, the authorised biography was one of the less interesting efforts. The official word on Jenson Button’s extraordinary championship-winning season promises a more personal angle incorporating his race-by-race notes on the season and even text messages from his [...]
Official F1 annuals reviewed 6th September 2009, 7:00
One of my favourite books when I was growing up was “In the driving seat” – a book about F1 racing tracks by Derek Allsop with quotes from Nigel Mansell in it. I learned the track layouts and got my first glimpse of the strange-looking cars of decades past. The young fans of today are [...]
“Williams” (Maurice Hamilton, 2009) 18th August 2009, 7:00
Although it’s five years since Williams last won a Grand Prix, and 12 since their last championship triumph, it still feels odd not to see their blue-and-white cars regularly at the sharp end of a race. By which I mean leading it by upwards of half a minute. That was what I got used to [...]
“Senna versus Prost” – read the review and win one of six copies 26th May 2009, 7:00
We’ve already had one new book on Ayrton Senna to mark the 15th anniversary of his death – and here’s another. But this one has a twist. Written after discussions with Alain Prost, “Senna versus Prost” tells the story of their infamous rivalry which dominated F1 from the moment they became team mates in 1988, [...]
