DESCRIPTION:
Alfa Male said F1 History You Didn't Know. If you want to know the origins of the current Lotus F1 team, or its predecessor, Renault F1, or before that, Benetton F1, this is the book for you. It is the story about a man with a little bit of money and a lot of ambition starting a Formula One Grand Prix team, which endures, albeit in another form, to this day.

If you are a fan of F1 history, or just want to know more about the earlier days of the sport, this is a must read book.

Lavishly illustrated, the book retraces the narrative from the very beginning and covers the dramas, heartbreaks and triumphs of each racing season in detail. This was the team that took Ayrton Senna into Formula 1, to which he responded by creating a masterpiece of movement at Monaco. And this is the whole story. This was the team that enabled Pat Symonds, Renault’s race tactician, to construct his career
