FORMULA ONE: THE LEGENDS

Cult drivers and their legacies By Tony Dodgins Hardback • 248mm x 305mm • 240 pages • £35 • ISBN: 978-0-7112-8949-9 • Ivy Press

At the heart of Formula One lie the triumphs and tragedies of the sport's greatest stars – the drama, personality and thrill of the sport are all tied to the cult drivers who have made racing so great to watch. This book profiles 32 of F1’s iconic drivers from the 1950s to the present day. As well as examining racers of the past such as Jackie Stewart, Alain Prost and Aryton Senna, the text profiles modern-day legends such as Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and legend-in-the-making Max Verstappen. Beautifully illustrated and with well-written text that is concise and snappy, we found the chapters to be somewhat addictive, making this book entertaining and informative even for those who do not typically follow the F1 circus.
