This handsome leather-bound Formula One book covers 70 years of Grand Prix racing, told through the champions, cars, rivalries, engineering, and near-misses that shaped the sport.

It follows the story from the first World Championship, won by Nino Farina in an Alfa Romeo, through to modern Formula One and drivers such as Lewis Hamilton.

The book includes more than 200 images, with a strong focus on both the drivers and the machines behind them.

Examples include champions such as Juan Manuel Fangio, Niki Lauda, Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Michael Schumacher, and Lewis Hamilton, alongside cult heroes such as Gilles Villeneuve.

The car history is part of the appeal too, moving from early tube-chassis machines by Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, and Maserati to the highly technical cars of the modern era.

This edition is bound by hand in red bonded leather by Graphic Image, the American leather goods company founded by Bennett Glazer in 1977, with more than 45 years of bookbinding and leather manufacturing behind it.

The leather binding gives the book a more finished, gift-ready quality than a standard motorsport title, making it well suited to a coffee table, study, office, or Formula One fan’s library.
