4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good
In talking about the crucial races that decided F-1 World Championships since 1950 until 1992, the reader get a good general view of the F-1 evolution through the years. Very good. Includes also the ridiculous tittle by Nigel Manseell in 1992, when he drove a car that was almost guided by remote control, so high was his technoly !!!

A book as fast as the cars!
Mr. Hilton wrote a book which covers all drama and excitment of the races which decided F-1 World Championships. In doing so, he fulfilled a space which was empty in automobile literature. He remembers all the details, the technical aspects of the vital races ad, as his strong point as a writer, the human side of the drama. Congratulations, mr. Hilton!

Chris Hilton's unique look at F1 champions in the making!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Grand Prix Showdown!: The Full Drama of the Races Which Decided the World Championship 1950-92 (Hardcover)
Every season in Grand Prix racing there is a moment of consummation when a World Champion is made. This unique book focuses on the races which decided each of the F1 titles, from Ascari in 1950 to Mansell in 1992. As Hilton writes, these stories demonstrate "how difficult the World Championship is, how elusive, how maddening, how delicate, how starkly dangerous." In that sense, Mansell is "linked by an almost umbilical cord to an enigmatic Italian and 3 September 1950." This amazing book is a full of riveting drama, of absolute joy for the winners and crushing disappointment for the losers. A real gem!
