Formula 1: All the Races<\/h2>\n

By Roger Smith<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Formula One is the world\u2019s most popular form of motorsport, which may explain the plethora of \u201cAll-Time Summary\u201d books available in the marketplace. Of course, like all the others, this compilation has its own individualizing twist on the subject matter that makes it sufficiently different to justify our purchase.<\/p>\n

Every F1 season from 1950 through 2011 is recapped with thumbnail summaries of each Grand Prix, supplemented by basic data details and accompanied by bullet-pointed \u201cfacts and folklore\u201d to provide proper perspective.<\/p>\n

Segmented by decades, the text is supplemented with both photographs and illustrations, but while some of the drawings are spot-on recreations of the car in question, others left me wondering just which Fun House mirror the artist was looking in while drawing. A minor point, but you\u2019ll see what I mean should you peruse these pages.<\/p>\n

In the Appendices are listings of all the winners and champions, along with a breakdown of champions by nationality, but the hidden gem is a suitably arcane compilation of every non-championship race ever run that is invaluable for those who appreciate minutiae.<\/p>\n

Available for US$49.95\/\u00a330 from enthusiast bookstores or direct from publisher Haynes at www.haynes.co.uk<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
