Summary

Now available in paperback, this meticulously researched book described by The Sun as 'incredible' outlines each of the 858 World Championship races held since the beginning of Formula 1 in 1950. Each entry highlights the key events of a Grand Prix from qualifying through to the final outcome as well as spotlighting those incidental happenings so unique to F1 that influenced a race or an unfolding championship battle. Nothing is missed. Every significant happening is recorded. As TV commentator Martin Brundle states in his foreword, this is a 'comprehensive yet condensed record for posterity'.
