'Nostalgia for those who were there, and a motorsport education for those who weren't' Auto Express

Product Description

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.

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.
