Formula 1's rich heritage is steeped in the myth and legend of the sport's true greats. Analysing Formula 1 is an extraordinary new book which separates Grand Prix fact from Grand Prix fantasy by introducing powerful new perspectives and analysis about winners and winning since 1950, supported by sophisticated graphics and charts.
Analysing Formula 1's main theme is the quest to differentiate and compare the achievements of drivers across different eras. This search introduces some fresh vocabulary to F1 and draws up a new hierarchy for Grand Prix winners. After examining the flair, style and victory profiles of the top drivers, the study confirms that beyond race winners and champions, even beyond some multiple champions, there are three drivers who transcend the rest - the all-time podium. And only one of these three can ultimately be rated as the greatest of them all.
Compiled by an expert analyst with a passion for motor racing, Analysing Formula 1 also offers a comprehensive and fascinating slant on the 58-year history of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship, tracking its development from the early post-war years to its current maturity as a TV-fuelled sporting colossus, watched by one billion people worldwide.
Season-by-season, the alterations to the Grand Prix landscape - the races, circuits, drivers, cars, teams and even danger - are described and analysed in unprecedented depth and detail, defining each new era and identifying the key developments and their implications. With approximately 80,000 words, 150 graphics and tables and 100 pictures, Analysing Formula 1 is set to become essential reading for all motorsport enthusiasts, from the connoisseur to the casual Formula 1 follower.
In his professional life, author Roger Smith specialised in the application of business information, latterly as Managing Director, Europe, Nielsen Television Ratings, the leading worldwide source of 'currency' viewing figures for broadcasters and advertisers. He is a lifelong Formula 1 enthusiast. |
