The Complete Unofficial Guide to Formula One by Mark Hughes
The most prestigious and high profile motor-racing sport is brought to life in this fully illustrated full-colour guide to Formula One. Written by a world-renowned expert on the subject, it is jampacked with insider knowledge and up-to-the-minute information. The book opens with an historical account of every racing decade from the early years of international and Grand Prix competition to the Formula One championships of the present day. It includes two separate A-Z guides of past and current teams and drivers as well as racetracks and their history, design, development and golden years. An overview of driver/team statistics completes this no-nonsense guide to the fastest sport in the world. Illustrated on every page with colour photographs and original archive material, this is an essential guide to the world of Formula One Grand Prix racing.
Mark Hughes, the author, raced cars long before he ever began to write about them, competing in karting and Formula Ford in the 1980s. He began his journalistic career at motorsport weekly Motoring News in 1988, where he worked for five years, becoming International Racing Editor. Since 1996 he has been working for Autosport as Grand Prix Editor at Large. His insights into the techniques and psychology of racing have been honed on the race track, where he has performed with distinction - including the 1994 season racing for Nigel Mansell's TVR Tuscan team. One of his lap records from 1995 still stands. He has also test-driven Formula One cars for March, Arrows and Williams.
