I love learning new f1 facts. I love to remember f1 moments, just not graphic details for deadly accidents. I would've lived my life happily without knowing how Ridnt died and Senna. 

Overall, great facts, kind of witty and Alonso knew about Crashgate.

Well, it’s safe to say that the rumors and drama we see today on social media about Formula One aren’t new (there are multiple new rumors daily!). F1 and drama seem to go hand in hand. Wall Street Journal reporters Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg didn’t write a history of the sport, but the history of politics and drama… there is plenty! Spygate and Crashgate only scratch the surface. This is a fantastic behind-the-scenes look at the chaos that we call Formula One. 

BTW: The description of Toto and Lewis is iconic! 

Thank you, NetGalley and Mariner Books, for an advanced copy to read between practice and qualifying!

Written in a series of compelling snapshots throughout history and highlighting some of the most iconic moments within the pinnacle of motorsport, THE FORMULA is a captivating book for lifelong race fans, fans new to the sport, and casual readers alike. The humor and attention to detail make this unputdownable. Reading it is akin to watching the Monaco Grand Prix at La Rascasse - lots of action and a true look behind the scenes.
