«I want to be a pilot, not a doll at all!» Lella Lombardi
The story of Lella Lombardi is not only that of the first “half point” of a woman in Formula 1. It is the story of a true talent, who at the wheel was able to express absolute values and abilities, as few others in the racing world have been able to do.
A woman of exceptional temperament and well ahead of her time, Lella Lombardi represents – today as then – an example of how it is possible to achieve results thanks to her talent and unshakable willpower, even in a sport usually declined in the male.
The book traces the pilot’s long career, reconstructing his sporting events in a rigorous way and being able to count on precious testimonies from friends, colleagues and collaborators. Together with the biography, numerous photographs, mostly unpublished, and a detailed palmares that examines about three hundred competitions played.
