With 100+ photos but only 4-5 pages on each of 13 Formula One World Champions, this Alan Henry book is neither comprehensive nor detailed. Yet it still manages to delve behind the helmets and provide some riveting moments in the careers of each of these tremendously gifted athletes. Henry's profile of Englishman James Hunt is particularly good, but many will question the logic (if any) that went into selecting the drivers for this book, since it leaves out so many great F1 champions.

Alan Henry is one of the greatest car racing newsman of all times. But sometimes he releases these cheaps books, made of photos and almost none text, just to get some easy money ( I guess ). THe result is this empty brief biography of F-1 world champions, that will serve only for beginners.

It's worth ony for the photos, which are great. The text is brief and adds almost nothing.

Man, you can find the information (the terrible brief information) about each of the drivers here in any cheap Internet web site!

It's sad when an expert newsman like Alan Henry writes such a weak book about great F-1 champions. He can ( and indeed have !! ) write much better books than this one, where the photos save the day ...
