Inside Formula One 1996: The Grand Prix Teams

by Jon Nicholson

The birth of a Grand Prix Team does not occur everyday, or even every year. Formula One is a desperately difficult business to break into and, when new arrivals do appear, very few survive beyond the first year, In 1997, not only did a new team make an impression and gain a foothold, it bore the name of Jackie Stewart, one of the most successful and charismatic drivers in the history of the sport. The authors were granted unparalleled access to the team from its inception and Racing Stewart gives the background to the initial decision to join a business where running a two-car team costs millions. It gets behind the scenes and describes the hardships and the high points which come when trying to gain acceptance in a tough and ruthless sport.
