Grand Prix: An Illustrated History of Formula 1 by Will Buxton

3.5

In the world of F1-related books, this is just okay. The illustrations are really neat, I like the focus near the end on the future of the sport, and I did actually learn some history, but overall the book isn't necessarily trying to be A Book, so it doesn't end up being one. You can definitely feel Will Buxton's voice the whole way through, so it's a lot of repeating the same obvious stuff. Frequently, it seems that fitting the text into a specific space on the page won out over writing it to make any sort of sense, but I guess that's typical for a coffee table book. I think it's worth paging through for your favorite drivers or eras, but it's not one for a full read.
