Lights out, and away we go!! The only way this book could be better is if it came with sounds….zoom, zoom, zoom. As a somewhat new Formula One fan (post-Michael, pre-Drive to Survive), I loved reading more about the 32 legends of the sport…legends from Moss to Hamilton (okay and Max) and everyone in between. The few pages per driver were perfect, and the photography…so many amazing photos in this book. I knew it would be great when you have Lewis at COTA (My home track!) on page 3.

This book will be excellent for any Formula One fan, new or old.

Thank you, Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Ivy Press, for the advanced ebook, the perfect treat for a fan counting down the days until car reveals and testing.

I loved the design and formatting of this, if I had a physical version, I'd 100% show it off to everyone who visited me! The photos are beautiful and the layout was very nice, the biographies well written. I recommend this to all F1 fans out there.

I loved this book! I've always been a huge fan of Formula One, especially in the 80s and 90s (I have to admit it was Ayrton Senna on the front that first grabbed my attention) and this did not disappoint. The beautifully illustrated biographies of each of the drivers is not just a retelling of their career and races but looks far more into them as people and their place in the sport, particularly the rivalries that they were closely involved in. It's impossible, of course, to have a list of the greatest drivers that everyone will be settle on but it's very difficult to argue with any of those included here and I really enjoyed learning more about those from the eras before I was old enough to watch.
A must for all fans of Formula one through the ages.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in return for an honest review.

I love F1 and when I saw this book for review I just had to read it! It's a great compilation of F1's greatest legends and their achievements and it really takes down memory lane. This is a well written book, the pictures are of great quality and I just loved Christian Horner's foreword and how he describes racing drivers!

I love F1 and this book was just what I needed. I wish I had an in real life version because it would be on my coffee table for all to see. I just adored everything about this book.
