This beautifully illustrated, deeply nostalgic book examines the evolution of the Grand Prix genre through one of its classic decades, when the sport moved into the increasingly commercial and high-tech era. It is also the story of how sponsors took over the main identity of the teams, with the sport becoming global as the English-speaking drivers were joined by newcomers such as Emerson Fittipaldi, Ronnie Peterson, Jody Scheckter, Niki Lauda and Nelson Piquet.

5.0 out of 5 stars
another great effort by F1 photography's grand master,
By
This review is from: Formula 1 in Camera 1970-79 (Hardcover)
Reiner Schlegelmilch is one of the best photographers in F1 which he has been covering since the 1960s. One of his trademarks is that he gives this extremely technical sport a very human perspective. This is transparent in every driver portrait or scene shot from the track. The 1970s were a decade of aggressive technical development in F1 which led to some of the most spectacular (Lotus 72) and bizarre (Tyrrel 6-wheeler and Brabham fan car)cars ever. It was a decade of triumph and tragedy with the loss of some of the sport's best drivers like Jochen Rindt and Ronnie Peterson, and of course there was Niki Lauda's terrible fire accident at the Nuerburgring. Schlegelmilch covers all of this with insight and brilliance, focusing not only on the highlights and the stars, but the sport as as whole. The prints are superb, text and picture captions are concise but informative

Pretty good!,

This review is from: Formula 1 in Camera 1970-79 (Hardcover)
This book is basically a photography book, and that's what it's supposed to be. As a photography book it's loaded with some great shots of cars, pilots and situations of the F1 circus in the 70's. If you want more text or facts, this is not the book for you.

This review is from: Formula 1 in Camera 1970-79 (Hardcover)
This book is a must-have for every fan of yesteryear's Formula 1. Photos are of great quality and the texts summarize very well each season of the decade.
