When a Formula One driver is the first to retire, does it leave a statistic? Yes it does! From Brock Beard, the writer behind LASTCAR.info, comes a brand-new book of overlooked Grand Prix statistics. Included are complete rankings by driver, country, chassis, and engine, as well as an annotated race-by-race list of every Formula One last-place finisher from 1950 through today! The result is a Formula One book like none other - it’s not simply about Schumacher, Senna, Piquet, and Vettel, but also Etancelin, Mazzacane, Schuppan, and Thackwell!
If you want a race-by-race count of last-place finishers in Formula 1, this is it. There’s not much else to it, but that’s the expectation laid down by the author in the forward. Early part of the book can get you in a little bit of a downer mood with all the death references, and some of the recent years seem to have been completed a bit hastily, with missing words and punctuation.
