Formula 1: The Autobiography

Formula 1: The Autobiography

by Gerald Donaldson (Author)

Synopsis

In a hugely ambitious project, Gerald Donaldson has assembled a team of specialists to record the voices of the major players on the circuit today. The voices of the drivers, their wives and girlfriends, the mechanics and engineers, the team bosses, all those involved in the tension-filled emotionally charged circus that is Formula 1 are recorded for the first time. The words of legendary figures from the past have also been recorded to create a definitive yet very personal historical record of the triumphs and disasters of over fifty years of Formula 1. Over 500 illustrations from a wealth of unusual and personal sources give a totally fresh insight into this spectacular sport.
