Review
F1 50 is a glossy celebration of the glamorous world of Formula One.
The book, edited by David Tremayne, guides you through the first five decades of the F1 world championship with quality black-and-white and colour pictures reflecting the ever-changing direction and pace while also capturing the mood of the sport. Tremayne's obvious knowledge and love of the ever-growing global sport puts the reader in pole position and gives them an insight into the many different behind-the-scenes players who help to put the cars on the grid. The occasional Sunday racing viewer, as well as the die-hard pit-lane enthusiast, will not be disappointed in this publication, which represents money well spent, and all will find many sections to educate or jog their memories from days gone by.
Key moments of each decade are described in detail and are complemented by the use of action photographs, which bring the pages alive.As well as the battles for the drivers' and constructors' titles, the personalities of every decade are pinpointed to complete the Formula One jigsaw of every decade.
Ground-breaking innovations have come and gone in the first 50 years and the book explains the impact in easy-to-understand terms without the technical jargon that can so easily be lost on the reader. Many books have been written on the sport, but this one is no back number and certainly warrants a place on the front-row grid.
