As Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc battle it out head-to-head in the most hotly contested championship in years, this in-depth book, with a foreword from Haas team principal Guenther Steiner, tells the story of how the sport evolved into the exhilarating high octane spectacle it is today. A must-read for completists or for those new to the sport, F1: The Pinnacle is a fascinating insight into one of the most exciting and dangerous sports in the world. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.

Guenther Steiner is a motorsport engineer and team manager who is the current team principal of the Haas Formula One Team, and the previous managing director of Jaguar Racing and technical operations director of its subsequent incarnation, Red Bull Racing. He still finds time to photograph at his beloved Oulton Park and is Motor Sport’s ‘Editor at Large’. He has written about and photographed motor sport ever since, covering events at more than 100 venues across six continents, from Phillip Island in Australia to Le Mans, Indianapolis, Kyalami, Interlagos, Suzuka and Curaçao.Anyway, why is f1 the pinnacle of Motorsport when for example 24h of Le Mans or the Nürnbergring is much more demanding for drivers and machines?

The first part is dedicated to the sport itself and how it came to be, including grid setup and other details such as this. A must-read for completists or for those new to the sport, F1: The Pinnacle is a fascinating insight into one of the most exciting and dangerous sports in the world. The curation of said ‘pivotal events’ is what sets ‘The Pinnacle’ apart – Arron and Dodgin’s deep insider knowledge means that those highlighted go beyond the clichés and received narrative. Formula 1: The Pinnacle tracks a history of the changes which have taken F1 from its rudimentary beginnings to the exhilarating high octane spectacle it is today, with a foreword by Guenther Steiner – Team Principal of the Haas Formula One Team. Benefiting from not being an official F1 publication, the book is able to dive into rarely charted coffee-table topics – controversies, commercials and Herman ‘the hairpin’ Tilke.In my eyes, it is impossible to directly compare F1 to another series like WRC/X, MotoGP or LMH/DPi. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. Also, an interesting fact from the book is that safety cars were introduced in the USA 82 years before they became a regular thing in Europe. But, seriously, F1 is more and more an artificial show, I mean the title decider last year was a pretty good example of manufactured drama for the audience. Watercraft and aircraft should probably be excluded as well, but that hasn't stopped comparisons from happening anyway; Tazio Nuvolari once raced against a Caproni biplane in his Alfa Romeo 8C around a track in 1931.
