Description

Explore the unique stories behind every Formula One World Championship circuit in this fully updated second edition. Written by award-winning journalist Maurice Hamilton and complete with bespoke digital maps of each course, this is the ultimate guide to the circuits of Formula One.

Each venue is listed in chronological order from the first time it hosted a World Championship Grand Prix, starting with Monza, then taking in renowned locations such as Spa, Nürburgring, Monaco and Silverstone, all the way up to F1’s latest destination: Las Vegas. Uncover little-known facts about famous circuits and discover the story behind some of the sport’s lesser-known venues.

This fully updated second edition includes:

• All 77 Formula 1 World Championship circuits, featuring six additional venues from the previous edition

• Bespoke digital maps of every racetrack

• Statistics including circuit lengths, lap records, and names of corners and straights

• Alphabetical and ‘by country’ indices for ease of reference

Media Reviews

Praise for the previous edition

‘A perfect petrolhead Christmas present. A beautifully collated collection of the 71 venues to have hosted an F1 race since 1950. It is a chance to revel in some of the great lost circuits.’ The Observer, Sports Writers Picks of 2015

“Racetracks have a life and personality of their own, and this book, beautifully conceived, reflects that fact.” New York Times

‘A petrol head’s dream’ Daily Star

‘This is a handsome tome. The diligence of [Hamilton’s] research is faultless and the result is an excellent book, complete with maps and statistics for the 71 tracks that have been used in F1.’ Guardian

‘For avid F1 fans as well as the casual viewer, [this] book is a chance to learn more about the often forgotten unsung heroes of F1.’ Planet F1
