Grand Prix: The Official History of Formula 1

Formula 1 is the most technically sophisticated and most globally watched motorsport in the world — a sport that combines the engineering ambitions of the world’s greatest car manufacturers with the physical and psychological demands of the finest racing drivers on earth, all compressed into two hours of competition that generates more data, more analysis, and more passionate debate than almost any other sporting contest. Will Buxton — the sport’s most respected broadcaster — brings to this Official History a level of access, insight, and narrative skill that no previous account has achieved.

The book traces the complete history of the sport from its foundation in 1950 through the great championship battles, the technical revolutions, the tragedies and triumphs, and the current era of hybrid power. Photography from the sport’s complete archive makes this as visually spectacular as any F1 book ever published.
