This review is from: Formula 1 1950-Today (Hardcover)

This book is a very good pictorial record of F1 from the 50's up to 21st century. Although somewhat concentrated on the latest Schumacher era, it takes one back to the early and romantic times of Clark, Stewart, Fittipaldi, Peterson, Lauda, Piquet, Senna and many other great drivers. It brings some nice photographic material of people and machines that makes it a very enjoyable book.
If you are a F1 fan, it is a must !
