A comprehensive work documenting the history of Formula One and also each season since Formula One's inception. The pictures are also very good. I think this book is more like an overview for anyone who wants to know about Formula One. However since it has such a focus, it lacks the depth or the stories that happened in each season. Nevertheless, a must read for any Formula One fan.

Awesome pictorial I got as a gift last year for Christmas. Really has a lot of detail about the seasons and drama within them. The photos are stunning and decade interviews really tie it all together. Very good reference for anyone trying to research F1.
