4.0 out of 5 stars
A full record of the F1 team that revolutionized GP racing!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lotus: A Formula One Team History (Hardcover)
Perhaps best known today as the Formula One team for which Mika Hakkinen, Alessandro Zinardi, Johnny Herbert, Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna all drove early in their Grand Prix careers, Colin Chapman's British F1 group revolutionized the sport -- everything from monocoques to wings to sponsors -- and were the McLarens of their day. Like March, BRM, Tyrrell, Brabham and other now-defunct F1 organizations, however, Team Lotus could not keep pace in the increasingly capital-intensive realm of modern F1 racing. This detailed and well-referenced tome is a wistful, race-by-race record of the most influential Formula One team of all time.
