The Formula

A good but not comprehensive summary of the story of Formula 1.

The authors focus mainly on the off-track history and stories with some interesting insights that average fans or those with even more knowledge on the subject would enjoy.

There's very little attention given to early formula 1 seasons and to the modern day era too; with much of the crux of the book focussing around Bernie Eccelstone and his tenure in the sport.

It's a very good read for those wanting to understand the story behind the sport that is formula 1 but equally it doesn't fulfil many other areas of interest. The sport itself doesn't feature much in the book, rather the backstory and peoples that shaped it. It's hard to describe but a lot felt missing and the latter chapters felt more rushed or neglected which didn't bode well as it was the most recent history.
