In more than seventy years there have been all kinds of duels among men fighting for victory in a championship, in a race or simply to be the first to go round that blessed corner. The friend is an adversary, the companion is the first of your rivals.
These pages tell some of these stories and especially the men behind certain duels. Sun Tzu wrote his "The Art of War" in the 6th century BC, but perhaps he had already seen some grand prix…
