Produktbeschreibung

DO YOU WANT TO RELIVE THE EARLY YEARS OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST MOTOR RACING COMPETITION?

Formula 1 is the most prestigious and famous motor racing competition in the world. But it wouldn't be what it is without its history, let alone its origin. In this compilation of two books in 1 you will enjoy the early years of the competition.

In The 1950s of Formula 1 you will relive the legends of Farina, the first champion. Fangio, winning with any car. Ascari and the first successes of Ferrari. The eternal fight of Stirling Moss for the world title. The chivalry of Peter Collins... Those were the glory years of Alfa Romeo, Maserati, the rise of British brands such as Vanwall, Cooper and BRM...

In The 1960s of Formula 1 you will remember the years of the flying Scotsman, the magical combination of Jim Clark and Lotus, and his rivalry with another of the greats, Graham Hill. It was also the decade when John Surtees, three-time motorcycle world champion, also tried to triumph on four wheels. And also the years of Brabham's resurgence, this time with the challenge of achieving victory with its own team. It was also the time when Jackie Stewart began to forge his own legend, that of a magnificent driver who shone from his beginnings in Formula 1.

In this book, the evolution of each of the seasons is reviewed race by race. I trust that it will provide you with a pleasant learning experience, or that it will allow you to recover pleasant memories.
