This is done from multiple perspectives:
-Vividly evoking the era, one that cast the drivers in the role of ruthless mercenaries in a time of commercial electrification, placing them between the closely-bonded romantics of a previous dangerous age and the data-driven professionals of today.
-The highly charged political battle for the sport’s control that would come to define the F1 of the 21st century.
-The way that this dovetailed with two immature but potent technologies, turbo charging and ground effect aerodynamics.
-Race-by-race analysis with supporting data, highlighting car and team-mate performance comparisons.
-Deep technical insights on the cars, engines and aerodynamics, the latter explaining the phenomenon of ground effect, why each car worked or didn’t.
-Driver and engineer interviews, including world champion Alan Jones and the creator of his Williams FW07, Patrick Head.
-A 21st century CFD analysis of the championship-winning Williams FW07.
-Reproduction of contemporary Williams documentation and technical drawings.
Rich in anecdote, analysis and insight, F1 Retro 1980 is much more than just a nostalgic trip – although its beautifully presented photography makes it that as well – but a unique and definitive treatment of a snapshot in F1 history.
