A great addition to learn more about Formula 1

"I really like this simple introductory history to Formula 1 written by well known F1 pundit and sports caster Will Buxton. The graphic art style illustrations are well rendered, with accompanying entries providing solid entry level knowledge about F1 history. A terrific starter for young people keen to learn about F1 and its history as well as those who enjoy graphic art style works."

Terri T. (5/5)

Great read and beautifully illustrated

"I bought this book for my 14 year old son who loves Formula 1 racing. I love that it is a quick read and that the history is broken down into very manageable parts. The illustrations are also great! Even when he is done reading it, it will serve not only as a great reference book but also a nice center piece in his room or future display case."

Will Buxton has been actively involved in the highest levels of international motor racing for over two decades. His career started at the turn of the millennium in print journalism, before a three-year stint running the communications department for the GP2 Series. His return to journalism coincided with an opportunity to try his hand at commentary, from where an offer arose to become the F1 pit reporter for the United States. After a decade on American television, he joined Formula 1’s in-house broadcast team as their new push into the digital domain was launched under Liberty Media. Known today around the world for his work on F1TV and the global Netflix sensation Formula 1: Drive to Survive, he is one of the most recognized and respected voices in the sport, and in 2023 reported on his 600th motor race and attended his 300th Grand Prix.
