Champions du Monde de F1 – Des Hommes et Des Voitures… De Fangio à Verstappen

Product description

“Superheroes,” “gladiators,” “magicians,” “aliens”… There’s no shortage of superlatives to describe them. Feel free to choose your favorite, because each perfectly captures the essence of these 34 drivers who achieved their wildest dream: becoming Formula 1 World Champions. Some of them achieved it only once, but it was the perfect moment to leave an indelible mark at the pinnacle of motorsport. Others managed to stay at the top or regain this Holy Grail later in their careers. But none of them would have succeeded without those engineers, true modern-day magicians, and those team leaders whose personalities will forever remain etched in F1 legend.

Daniel Ortelli and Loïc Chenevas-Paule, both journalists and authors, but above all Formula 1 enthusiasts, recount truly extraordinary stories in this uniquely structured book, where nostalgia and rediscoveries intertwine with a series of portraits illustrated with splendid photographs by Jean-François Galeron and his colleagues. All of this is brought to life under the guidance of Jean-Baptiste Gilou, the mastermind behind this declaration of love for extraordinary champions, exceptional athletes, and extraordinary men. All of them.
