The revs rise above the cheers of the crowd, as the drivers prepare to thunder down to turn one. As well as the smell of petrol and burned rubber, the air is thick with crackling anticipation – because, as Murray Walker would say, ‘In Formula 1, anything can happen, and it usually does.’
The excitement at the start of an F1 race has always been the same – whether it’s the 1958 Italian Grand Prix or the 2024 British Grand Prix. But many things in F1 do change, and fast. This book takes motorsport fans on a high-speed thrill ride through the history of F1, through authentic newspaper reports written at the time.
Starting with Mike Hawthorn’s title win in 1958, the reporters who saw it all happen tell the story of the most iconic races and seasons.
