The central theme of this book is the "great circus" of Formula 1, described by the author through its most famous protagonists: the champions, from 1950 to the mythical Senna.
A gallery of vivid, biting, sometimes even ruthless portraits, which project the reader into the fascinating universe that revolves around the most famous circuits.
From the legendary Fangio to the much-loved and ill-fated Ascari to Jackie Stewart - to whom we owe the commercialization of motor racing and the economic prosperity of the drivers, who have become the best-paid sports professionals - the book covers forty years of racing (the original edition came out in 1988).
Clark, Jones, Andretti, Lauda, Fittipaldi, Prost, Senna, some protagonists, are "filmed" on and off the track: attitudes, emotions, weaknesses and disappointments in a series of lively anecdotes and spicy revelations.
Many short but comprehensive stories told with verve and great attention to detail.
Enriched by numerous colour and black and white photos, sincere and captivating, I campioni di Formula 1 is a book that captures the reader's curiosity and fully restores the atmosphere of the sport's golden age.
