The seventies were incisors , harsh , rough as the title of this book. Even for Formula 1 . A tribute to the legendary Nürburgring Grand Prix , Francorchamps, Brands Hatch , Clermont- Ferrand , Monte Carlo, Zandvoort , Monza, Montjuic , Jarama , before the security needs omologassero the characteristics of almost all the tracks , making them desolate equal. The human stories of Graham Hill , Jackie Ickx , Chris Amon , Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda , James Hunt, Ronnie Peterson , Clay Regazzoni , Jo Siffert , Pedro Rodriguez , Mike Hailwood and many others. People to experience the thrills of racing tracks did not need to shave as velvet, the box with the TV -circuit TV , satellite links , wireless, internet and princely hospitality to cajole the VIPs , imbonire the media, smooth sponsors . This did not prevent engineers to come up with ingenious solutions . The grand prize was not for a chosen few , a private affair . When the starter lowered his flag ( that was , other than traffic lights) on the track only they remained , the pilots of Formula 1. Without the headset in your ear squawking orders of the head. You had to make do until the end in a solitary , unique dimension . The dialogue was a direct line to the engine screaming , the bloated body stuffed into a fireball of gasoline. Every now and then a sideways glance on the mirror that vibrated crazy. You and your opponents. You against others. You before the others. Someone wrote that the charm of bullfighting lies in the fact that sometimes the bull wins . And the circus recalled that the athletic movement of the trapeze artist has the same value if the exercise is performed with or without a net. But not worth more. People knew . And huddled in the corners more daring , in the hardest passages , waiting for the comparison tighter . They ran strong flavors . Racing unpredictable. Racing rough .
