The 2008 Formula 1 World Championship saw a repeat of the historic duel between Ferrari and McLaren. The Maranello-based team was led by the in-form Felipe Massa with Lewis Hamilton, his closest rival. It was, of course, Hamilton who took the Drivers’ Championship, with Ferrari settling for the Constructors’ title. The Polish driver Robert Kubica also enjoyed a very productive season that saw him score a maiden-Formula 1 win for BMW in the Canadian Grand Prix and finish high up the championship table. Mention also has to be made of the very young Sebastian Vettel, the winner at Monza in the Toro Rosso. Once again the expert Giorgio Piola recounts and, above all, illustrates the secrets and technical advances behind these feats in the 2008-2009 edition of Formula 1Technical Analysis in which he examines the various development phases conducted by the teams during the championship. The chapter devoted to the engines, written by Mauro Forghieri and Mauro Coppini, and those dealing with the regulations, tires, aerodynamics, cockpits and chassis complete what has become a “classic” of Formula 1 literature. As always, an extensive section devoted to the leading cars of the 2009 season enhances the book.

This review is from: Formula 1 Technical Analysis 2008-2009 (Paperback)
This book is awesome as always. Giorgio Piola is very talented. The drawings are amazing and the information is great.I am a big fan of F1 and and most motorsports for over 20 years and have had a major interest in the Technical side. I myself work for a race team and have dreams of eventually working for an F1 team. Reading this book and studying the drawings i think will help the old and new fans understand these cars and the complexity. This is amust for any F1 fan.

I love the series. Beautifully illustrated and well written with insights into all aspects of technical developments. I simple love these books. I only wish that they were available in hard cover. Maybe a compilation book with all previous years together in one volume with a hard cover !!
