About this book

THE V8s are howling, the crowd at Interlagos is on its feet. Massa crosses the line, Brazil erupts — but it’s not over. Hamilton’s still in fifth, just holding on. Then … Glock slows, tyres slick in the rain, and here comes Lewis! He takes fifth back at the final corner! He’s done it, he’s World Champion! The most dramatic finish F1 has ever seen.

Follow the story of Formula 1 through a book of authentic newspaper articles, curated from original Daily Telegraph reports dating back to the 1950s. This edition charts the sport’s most iconic moments — exactly as they were reported at the time.

Featuring:

– Stirling Moss’s legendary sportsmanship
– The rise and fall of six-wheeled Tyrell
– Senna vs Prost and the Silver War
– The unforgettable 2008 title decider at Interlagos
– Highlights from the 2025 season and beyond
