Formula One: The Pinnacle: The pivotal events that made F1 the greatest motorsport series (3)

Product Information

Nobody said F1 was the best motorsport, but it's just a fact that it's the highest you can go in terms of prestige, overall money involved, attraction, importance etc. This is just a throwaway reference in a photo caption here but it manifests that the book doesn’t just wend its way from headline event to headline event as if nothing noteworthy happened in between but that the authors find ways to impart tidbits that in and of themselves may seem peripheral but really are emblematic of bigger stories.

In part 6 of this book they discuss personalities in F1 racing and I feel like this is a missed opportunity. If the highest possible point, the pinnacle, of being a racing driver is being F1 World Champ, then that series is the pinnacle, no matter if other top-flight series are going through a strong period. He has written about and photographed motor sport ever since, covering events at more than 100 venues across six continents, from Phillip Island in Australia to Le Mans, Indianapolis, Kyalami, Interlagos, Suzuka and Curacao.The pre-loved books are carefully cleaned and maintained offering a wide variety of general and specialist titles from children's to adults.

Along with changes to circuits and the technology of the cars, this book highlights the commercial changes and the controversies that threatened to split the sport apart – such as the threat of breakaway series proposed at various times by teams. The series’ signature race is the Le Mans 24 Hours, held annually at the Circuit de la Sarthe in France. He has edited several publications, including Motor Sport, Motoring News and the long-running motorsport yearbook, Autocourse. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. I infrequently watch Formula 1 or follow the rankings, but I always wanted to learn more about the history of the sport itself.True, it concentrates mainly on the later years of the sport, but most of the innovations that made Formula 1 what it is today took place in the last 50 years, so the authors’ focus is appropriate. Simon Arron and Tony Dodgins have identified the 100 most significant changes to the series since its inception in 1950.

He has led the Haas F1 team since its inception, debuting in F1 in the 2016 season, and since then has also gone on to appear in the hit Netflix show Drive to Survive. Formula 1: The Pinnacle tracks a history of the changes which have taken F1 from its rudimentary beginnings to the exhilarating high octane spectacle it is today, with a foreword by Guenther Steiner - Team Principal of the Haas Formula One Team. He has also been the grand prix editor for Motoring News, F1 Racing magazine (now GP Racing), On Track, and has been a regular columnist for Autosport Japan for more than 20 years. We hope to provide a platform that not only invites every F1 fans to browse through their favourite collection, but a community to be more involved in the thrill of Formula 1 racing brings us.Yet when the fastest car starts at the back it can produce spectacular action, such as Lewis Hamilton’s drive in the 2021 Interlagos race, when he started at the back and hauled himself up to fifth, a drive so audacious that it made Fernando Alonso laugh when he asked where Lewis had finished.

Maybe more of a Pinnacle of "X" thing for each series and checking to see which ticks the most boxes. With its topics structured in the form of two-to-four-page vignettes with easy-to-read, relevant text, and amazing, full-color, well-captioned photos, many of them full- or two-page spreads, “Formula 1” gives the reader the historical, technical, personal and commercial story of the sport in bite-sized pieces that, in toto, amount to as good an overall treatment of the subject as I’ve seen. He has also been the grand prix editor for Motoring News, F1 Racing magazine (now GP Racing), On Track, and has been a regular columnist for Autosport Japan for more than 20 years. Along with changes to circuits and the technology of the cars, this book highlights the commercial changes and the controversies that threatened to split the sport apart – such as the threat of breakaway series proposed at various times by teams.The new rules introduced in 2022 signal the greatest change to F1 in a generation, cracking the field wide open and seeing some of the most compelling and competitive races in the last 25 years. Formula One is unrecognizable from its debut season, where drivers raced around on old bomber training aerodrome in Northamptonshire with oil drums to mark the corners and straw bales the only concession to safety. The introduction of the halo saved Romain Grosjean’s life in Bahrain last year, but only came about because of the tragic accident that claimed Jules Bianchi in Japan.
