Synopsis

If you want a heated debate among motor racing enthusiasts, then just throw into the conversation the name of the Formula 1 driver you think is the best the sport has ever seen, and watch the sparks fly. Well, to fuel the fires of disagreement further, legendary F1 journalist Alan Henry now reveals his top 100 Grand Prix drivers of all time. Although skills behind the wheel and the resultant success are obviously notable factors, Henry gives his subjects a much more rigorous assessment. He also considers the qualities of dignity, tenacity and the ability of a driver to inspire the team around him - basically every part of the complex mix which goes into making a truly great practitioner of motor racing's most senior category. But who will make it into that coveted number one spot proffered by one of the sport's most respected authorities? Whether they agree with his choice or not, there will be motor racing fans across the world waiting to find out ...

Media Reviews
`I hope you enjoy the controversy as much as I have done.' -- Steve Cropley, Autocar
`So, get yourself a copy of Alan's book. Read it. Disagree with it. Throw it across the room every so often in disgust. Let a few minutes of reflection pass, then go and pick it up again and read some more. Then throw it at the cat. Then pick it up again, etc'. -- Autosport
`In this case the man is unusually well qualified on the grounds of experience and soundness of judgement, the mixture leavened with a sometimes mischievous sense of humour and the occasional burst of full-throttle subjectivity.' -- Guardian
`This is a great, fun book' -- Daily Telegraph
`A small but perfectly formed volume by the doyen of his trade' -- Guardian
`Alan Henry's judgment in these matters is pretty much at Supreme Court level' -- Autocar
`Enormous fun, backed up with great knowledge and personal experience ... a great, fun book' ' -- Daily Telegraph
`Already guaranteed to be the most contentious motorsport book of the year' -- Autosport
