Campioni. I Piloti Leggendari della Formula 1

Product description

Since the beginning of the Formula 1 championship, in 1950, only thirty-four drivers have obtained the title of world champion. The famous sports correspondent Maurice Hamilton and the award-winning photographers Bernard and Paul-Henri Cahier bring together all the victorious heroes of this beautiful and cruel sport in an extraordinary collective portrait. With unpublished images of over seventy years of Formula 1, the book traces the story of the greatest drivers and their strenuous fight for the world title along with that of the cars that led to victory. From the protagonists of the past such as Juan Manuel Fangio and Alberto Ascari to the most recent stars such as Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen through Niki Lauda, Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher and all the other drivers, the book is a tribute to one of the most spectacular sports, to its indomitable protagonists and to a symbol of our time, the automobile, in its most extreme guise.
