Product description
In this book, Luca Dal Monte takes us back 50 years, to Niki Lauda’s first world title with Ferrari. Few recognised at the time that Niki’s World Championship triumph had opened an era and introduced Formula 1 to one of its greatest drivers. Always in search of a personal interpretative key, Dal Monte – author of the multi-award-winning and widely translated Ferrari Rex, consecrated by the New York Times as the “definitive biography” of Enzo Ferrari and soon to become a TV series produced by Apple + TV – follows Lauda’s world championship journey throughout the 1975 season as a reporter would have done at the time. He transmitts to today’s reader all the scepticism that reigned around the young Austrian driver, whom no one recognised as the best but simply the man at the wheel of what was the best car in the field: the 312 T that can be considered one of Mauro Forghieri’s masterpieces.
