Synopsis
Each season Formula I designers strive to make their cars even faster and more self-sufficient, while the FIA governing body introduces rules to make them .slower, with more human input, fearful of the very real risk that quite shortly there will be cars capable of racing without drivers. But the speeds continue to rise. This revised edition explains the technical changes imposed since Alan Prost won the 1993 World Championship in a Williams bristling with driver aids, and follows the developments right through to the 2000 season.
