5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect testimony of one of the greatest grand prix., August 27, 1999

By	LOUIS JACQUES DUBOIS (Campinas, Brazil) - See all my reviews

A must have for every F1 enthusiast. About 8 pages for each year since the first G.P. in 1929 to 1998; a lot of superb photos; great 3 language text; near complete data of the competitors, the cars, the qualifing and race results. The race history highlights full recorded in separeted articles; the very big format and the photo record of the first 6 of more than 20 last years are the touch of perfection of this fantastic book. Only a more complete technical data of the cars might be presented. One of the best money value in F1 books; like others of this great author.

5.0 out of 5 stars F1 photography doesn't get any better than this, January 3, 2001

By	Tina Morris "schultheiss" (Rockville, MD USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Rainer Schlegelmilch has covered Grand Prix racing since the early sixties and probably now has one of the biggest photo archives on the sport available. What distinguishes him from many of his colleagues is that he has always striven to capture the passion and the human side of a sport that is by nature highly technical. The Monaco Grand Prix is the last true road race that is left in the current Grand Prix calendar and its location, history and flair give it an air and mystique like no other race in the world. Schlegelmilch captures past and present, triumph and tragedy that make up the story of this most famous race in Formula One. The quality of the printed photos is outstanding and the book has a good balance of black and white and color images. The accompanying 3-language captions are short but informative. The book also includes full race statistics of all races up to 1998.
