The ultimate guide to F1

Its a good, voluminous, and heavy book (as a good encyclopedia should be), with all drivers, teams, and circuits up to 1999. Color photographs of most of the above are provided. Unfortunately the circuit descriptions don't include track layouts and sometimes its difficult to know where they are. The final stats section has all the numbers and categories you could need. A great reference book!

Encyclopedia of F1 Reviewed:

Those familiar with the "Encyclopedia" books of other sports will know that this is a statistical journey rather than a photographic timeline. This book covers every Constructor, Driver, Circuit, and Record since the British Grand Prix 13 May 1950 when Giuseppe Farina won this 70 lap race in 2hr13m23.6sec driving for Alpha Romeo SpA. However, the book may seem dated as it ends coverage with the European Grand Prix in October of 1997. Most of the current Formula One drivers are covered though maybe with a different team. There is also a nice Forward by the British voice of Formula One, Murray Walker. A good reference book for any F1 fan with an interest in the history of this sport. Remember, no glossy photos of brave drivers or the powerful and beautiful cars they pilot, just some Black and White shots here and there and interesting facts and figures about Formula One in between.
