Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. This copy is in new, unmarked condition bound in black cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. There is a handsome bookplate to the front paste down. The unclipped dust wrapper is in new condition. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Since 1972 Williams won eight Constructors' Championships and six Drivers' Championships. But the team's seeming invincibility is under threat. This all-color book examines the troubled Williams operation, still criticised over the sacking of Damon Hill, battling against born-again Ferrari, and haunted by the Ayrton Senna court case. Woven into the tale are absorbing anecdotes about relations with the drivers, designers, suppliers, and sponsors. Ref MM 5. Seller Inventory # 029281
