Of that number, 15\u2014led by Michael Schumacher, Juan Manuel Fangio and Alain Prost\u2014have worn the crown more than once, while nine have claimed titles for more than one marque and only one, Jack Brabham, has done so in a car bearing his own name.<\/p>\n<p>From the days of casual cotton overalls, cloth helmets and glass-lensed goggles to today\u2019s fully flameproof cocoons of Nomex\u00ae and carbon fiber, this bilingual book (German and English) portrays the spirit of those whose excellence in execution has written the history of Formula One.<\/p>\n<p>The book profiles those men and their accomplishments with Schlegelmilch\u2019s evocative photography and Lehbrink\u2019s insightful commentary combining to capture the contrasts and parallels between personalities past and present, while telling the stories upon which the sport\u2019s legends have been built. Both men are extensively experienced F1 veterans, and their collaboration is well worth the price of admission.
