From the publisher

The visceral sensations of driving a Formula 1 race car in the 1950s and 1960s are brought to life through the extraordinary images of the Klemantaski Collection (one of the world's largest and finest archives of motorsports photography) and first-person accounts from the drivers who experienced them. Original commentary from F1 legends Sir Stirling Moss, Sir Jackie Stewart, Sir Jack Brabham, John Surtees, and Sir Frank Williams and carries the reader through a Grand Prix weekend, from arrival at the track, practice and setup, the start of the race, and the race itself. A must-have for all Formula 1 aficionados.

2011 International Automotive Media Silver Award Winner

About the author

Journalist and broadcaster Stuart Codling has worked in motorsports for over a decade, covering sports cars in the United States before joining F1 Racing, the world's best-selling Formula 1 magazine. He has ridden pillion with World Superbike Champion Neil Hodgson, gone snowboarding with (former) FIA President Max Mosley, and been sworn at by ex-Ferrari F1 driver Eddie Irvine. He has appeared as an F1 expert on TV and radio, has hosted for Renault F1, and contributes to F1 Racing, Autosport, and Autocar. He is the author of the Motorbooks bestsellers Art of the Formula 1 Race Car and Real Racers. Read more about him on his website: www.stuartcodling.com.

Thirteen-time Grand Prix winner David Coulthard amassed more points in his fifteen-year Formula 1 career than any British driver and is seventh on the list of all-time F1 point-scorers. Born in Dumfries, Scotland, he made his Grand Prix debut in 1994 for Williams, before moving on to McLaren for nine successful seasons, finishing a career-best second in the championship in 2001. After four years driving for Red Bull Racing, Coulthard retired from F1 following the 2008 season, and now works as a commentator for the BBC's Formula 1 television coverage while also driving in the DTM. He lives in Monaco. Darren Heath is one of the world's top motorsports photographers; his work covering the Formula 1 World Championship has won him numerous awards, and in 2005 the British Royal Photographic Society awarded Heath their prestigious Honorary Fellowship in recognition of his contributions to the art and science of photography in his chosen field. He lives in London, England.
