Silverstone and Formula 1 by Anthony Meredith
For fans all over the world the thrilling partnership of Silverstone and Formula 1 has long represented one of the pinnacles of motor sport. Here the broad sweep of Silverstone’s Formula 1 history, a kaleidoscopic pageant of great cars and drivers, is explored in a new and highly accessible way through nine specific eras, each one delightfully and freshly illustrated: • The First Grand Prix and International Trophy (1948–49) • Forza, Alfa! Forza, Ferrari! (1950–51) • The Front-Engined Finale (1952–59) • Clark’s Dark Golden Age (1960–68) • The Stewart Dominance (1969–73) • The Hunt-Lauda Epoch (1973–79) • Three Titans: Prost, Mansell and Senna (1981–93) • The Schumacher Era (1994–2006) • New Heights: Hamilton and The Wing (2007 onwards) This photographic history of Silverstone and Formula 1 should appeal to motor racing fans everywhere, as it neatly captures the essence of what the highest level of a most demanding sport has meant to this very special venue.
