Product Description

When Michael Schumacher rammed archrival Jacques Villeneuve at Jerez in November 1997, he not only muddied his own reputation, he ruined the hopes of Ferrari, which looked poised to capture its first Formula 1 crown since 1979. This colorful insider's look at the most famous F1 team in the world includes profiles of Schumacher and teammate Eddie Irvine; a privileged view of the sport's political in-fighting and multimillion-dollar deals; car design and testing; raceday preparations and strategies; and the team's dealings for financial and promotional support.

2.0 out of 5 stars Quick run through of Ferrari F1 up to 1998, July 16, 2000

By	paul_cheng "K.F." (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews

At Amazon.com, the publish date of this book is March 1999 but it is actually November 1998.

This is only a small book and do not expect much detail in the history of Ferrari F1. If you are a busy man and just want a quick run through, this will help.

Ferrari F1 fans, skip this one. I don't think you will get any excitement from reading this book. If you look for content, this one is lacking. If you look for colorful pictures, there are only some average ones.
