5.0 out of 5 stars Watch out for prancing horse jumping from the book!, September 5, 1999

By A Customer

I got this book as a gift from Rainer's son Boris. It is the ultimate gift a tifosi can get - a complete 1950 - 1996 history of a team that is often considered as a synonymous for formula 1 passion. Photographs made in style that is very own for Maranello based team - red love, red faith, red blood of driver's like Bandini or Villeneuve for who red was the colour of their blood leaked for the belief of success. Rainer Schlegelmilch can be proudly crowned as a 'commendatore' of photography. He said it all. You'll never be a real formula 1 fan if you don't have this book! And I give five stars because I have it autographed... ;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars An exquisite treat for Tifosi everywhere!, November 24, 1998

By A Customer

More than just a collection of truly exquisite pictures, this large-format volume -- in English, German and French -- covers each car, driver and season of Scuderia Ferrari's fabled GP history, including today's Maranello team assembled by Ferrari boss Luca di Montezemelo. As Niki Lauda's forward aptly states, Schlegelmilch's photography shows a "consistency of performance linked with the Ferrari virtues of brilliance and a finely-tuned sense of aesthetics." At nearly 350 pages (with several appendices), Ferrari F1 is a tour de force for Tifosi everywhere.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must for any coffee table, November 17, 1998

By A Customer

I saw this book in passing and was immediately drawn to it. The shear size of the book and the fact that it contains all Ferrari Formula 1 racing from 1950 to 1996 was a definite plus. This would be the ultimate gift for any Formula 1 racing fans and escpecially for those who dream in red.

The photos and a mix of a little text bring the reader through the evolution of Ferrari in racing with a passion that is "Racing Red".

This book is hard to put down and is a photo album that any true racing fan would like to be a part of.

Not a technical book by any means so simply enjoy the scenery!

And, 4 stars because my copy is not autographed :-)
