Formula 1 is the pinnacle of four-wheeled motor sport, but it's more than just man and machine pitched into battle around the globe; it's about personalities, incredible technology, multi-million dollar budgets and a script that wouldn't disgrace a soap opera.
This book is an insider's guide to the contemporary Formula 1 scene written by two industry experts, filled with insights into the world's most-watched sport after soccer. For the armchair race fan, there's an overview of the sport for the uninitiated and plenty of insider anecdotes for the die-hard enthusiast.
There's also simple-to-read guide of the not-so-simple rule changes affecting the 2003 season, and an account of the strategies, politics and rivalries that have turned the sport into a global drama acted out in 17 different countries each year.
For the technical enthusiast, the book helps to explain the incredible performance of a Formula One car and why each one costs $1 million to build and $20,000 per mile to run! There's also easy-to-understand account of the science of aerodynamics as well as the space-age technology that goes into protecting the driver in high-speed crashes.
