Sinopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A thrilling illustrated history of Formula 1 racing, from its fascinating origins and inner workings to the top drivers of the twentieth century and today, by a celebrated motorsports broadcaster and star of Formula 1: Drive to Survive

“A valuable and welcome addition to the library of any lifelong F1 fan, as well as for any curious individual new to the world of F1.”—Mario Andretti

Over its seventy-plus years of history, Formula 1 racing has grown from a niche motorsport with just a few events per season into a global phenomenon followed by more than a billion fans. With just twenty drivers competing at speeds of over 220 miles per hour on more than twenty of the world’s most glamorous and challenging racetracks, Formula 1 is the ultimate test of machine and humankind. To become a champion means to be counted among the most elite athletes the world has ever known.

As the lead commentator on Netflix’s breakout series Formula 1: Drive to Survive, Will Buxton has emerged as the most prominent journalist covering the sport for the new generation of fans. Grand Prix chronicles the past, present, and future of F1 in an engaging and easily digestible format. You’ll be introduced to historical heroes, such as Formula 1’s very first world champion, Giuseppe Farina, through every decade and every champion of the sport, including the iconic Lewis Hamilton and reigning champion Max Verstappen. You’ll meet the drivers these great champions did battle with and discover the teams they raced for and the tracks they mastered. Packed with incredible stories and epic races, this captivating collection also contains features on every aspect of the sport today, along with how modern teams operate from their factories to race weekend garage setups, car design, the development of the sport through the lens of automotive evolution and safety, the art of the pitstop, and the future of motor racing.

Filled with immersive and engaging information with illustrations as dynamic and bold as the sport itself, Grand Prix is the definitive introduction to the world's fastest sport.
