Product description
The fascinating and controversial saga of Formula 1, told without filters by two journalists from the Wall Street Journal. With an insider’s view from the heart of the paddock, Robinson and Clegg paint a picture of a ruthless world populated by daring constructors, visionary engineers, and fearless drivers.
Their stories, always full of adrenaline and sometimes dramatic, tell of a sport that has risked falling into oblivion numerous times, but found the strength to emerge, evolve, and become an empire. In an environment where innovation and experimentation are key to success, Formula 1 has never feared pushing boundaries, even at the cost of bending the rules to the breaking point.
With exclusive access to the top teams and the most iconic figures – from Ferrari to Red Bull, from Bernie Ecclestone to Lewis Hamilton – this book offers an unprecedented look at the bold gambles that have shaped global motorsport over the last fifty years. A tale that has transformed what was once a “pastime for rich idle men” into a global phenomenon, capable of securing a central place in our culture.
