Add to basketThe captivating narrative of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship continues
With the race-count climbing to an astonishing 1,125 at the end of 2024. Formula 1's 75th season provides the perfect opportunity to bring the story right up to date.
Speed, glamour, and intrigue …
Formula 1 encapsulates our love affair with the car, our obsession with speed, and our insatiable desire to win. Its blend of glamour, worldwide reach, and the intrigue of power politics makes it a seductive concoction for fans around the globe. In this latest book in the Formula 1 All the Races series, Roger Smith explores 'The Liberty Years', perhaps the most transformative period for Formula 1 technically, commercially, and philosophically: is it sport or entertainment?
In late 2016, Liberty Media Corporation, a prominent American owned company with a business focus in media, communications and entertainment, bid to acquire the commercial rights for Formula 1. It marked the beginning of a new era and is the most far-reaching expression of US involvement and influence on the sport to date, but by no means the first.
Full up-to-date season coverage
Divided into two parts, part one covers all races from the 2016 season opener in Melbourne, Australia, and encompasses every race until the end of the 2024 season. Concluding with a detailed overview of the 2024 season, including facts, figures and folklore, part one provides an unrivalled analysis of teams and drivers, performance, progress, and the many challenges faced during the season's racing.
USA – a special place in F1 history
Part two takes you on a special USA Tribute tour, celebrating 40 landmark races covering America's 75 year history in Formula 1. From the first ever F1 start for an American driver at the 1950 Monaco GP, to 2024's Dutch Grand Prix which saw Logan Sergeant become the 50th American to compete.
Discover the pioneers of the 50s and 60s such as Harry Schell and Dan Gurney; the most successful US driver of all time, Mario Andretti; the 'shapers' of the 80s, such as Marlboro and Goodyear; and the 'players' of recent decades – Liberty, Netflix and Las Vegas. Formula 1 All the Races: Liberty Media's Makeover provides an unrivalled and up-to-date record of Formula 1 with a wealth of information that no Formula 1 aficionado should be without.
The United States has left an indelible mark on Formula 1, shaping its trajectory and contributing to its status as 'The Pinnacle of Motorsport'. Join this celebration of 75 years of Formula 1: The fastest sport on the planet.
Roger Smith is a lifetime fan and student of Formula 1, and has attended over 100 F1 races across five continents. Prior to becoming an author, Roger worked for a leading business information company. His successful 40-year career spanned several international roles and his research findings were published throughout Europe.
Following retirement from business life, Roger pursued his aspiration to write. His first book, Analysing Formula 1, published in 2008, was a stepping stone to a more ambitious project. Inspired by a gap on his own personal F1 bookshelf, he set out to create a single volume incorporating an informative historical storyline race-by-race. Formula 1: All The Races, first published in 2012, sold out within four months and was shortlisted for the British Sports Book Awards. To celebrate 75 years of F1, the fifth edition in the series is set to bring the F1 story bang up to date.
Roger lives in Oxford and Chichester with his wife, and is a member of The Guild of Motoring Writers.
