Product Description
Synopsis
When Michael Schumacher rammed Jacques Villeneuve at Jerez, ending up in the gravel trap while his rival went on to win the 1997 World Championship, he not only blackened his own reputation but ruined the hopes of the Ferrari team, which looked poised to take its first crown since 1979. But Ferrari was soon buoyant again, in public anyway, defending their driver's actions and planning next year's campaign. Here is the inside story of the most famous racing team in the world, which has learned resilience the painful way.

Lame mule to Prancing Horse,
By paul.dalglish@btinternet.com (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ferrari: Formula 1 Racing Team (Formula One racing teams) (Hardcover)
A good account of how Ferrari went through the pain barrier of the Alesi/Berger era through to the dominant Schumacher dynasty, and the realisation that the Ferrari infastructure was still rooted in the 80's. An entertaining book. Well worth a look.

Quick run through of Ferrari F1 up to 1998,
By paul_cheng "K.F." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ferrari: Formula 1 Racing Team (Formula 1 Teams) (Paperback)
At Amazon.com, the publish date of this book is March 1999 but it is actually November 1998.This is only a small book and do not expect much detail in the history of Ferrari F1. If you are a busy man and just want a quick run through, this will help. Ferrari F1 fans, skip this one. I don't think you will get any excitement from reading this book. If you look for content, this one is lacking. If you look for colorful pictures, there are only some average ones.

A good Ferrari book, but nothing sensational,
By Richard Bailey "Richard's F1" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ferrari: Formula 1 Racing Team (Formula One racing teams) (Hardcover)
Part of a five-book set profiling top teams in Formula 1 in the late 1990s - which include titles on McLaren, Williams, Benetton, Jordan and Stewart - David Tremayne's Ferrari: Formula 1 Racing Team follows the formulae of its sister titles, although this particular version was republished in the wake of the team winning the coveted Drivers' Championship title in 2000, for the first time since 1979.
The book almost exclusively covers the team's rise under the guidance of Jean Todt, who was brought into an utterly dysfunctional Maranell squad in mid-1993. The radical twin-floor F92A of 1992 had proved an embarrassment, and the separation of the team's design office (located in the UK, at the behest of John Barnard, the team's Technical Director at the time) from its factory was proving unsuitable. At a high level, it analyses the operational and cultural change that slowly took place over the subsequent years, that saw the team successfully bring life back into the Prancing Horse when it was perhaps more of a lame donkey back then. Crucial decisions - such as the hiring of Michael Schumacher, the forging of a complete technical team, a top-down restructure of the company - are examined, and the outcome was, finally, the all-important first Drivers' Championship since the Jody Scheckter-led campaign in 1979. Tremayne is one of F1's celebrated journalists and writers, and his writing style here is easy to digest, and he paints a useful image for the reader. The pictures used in the book are largely taken from the Sutton Images library, but I'd has at a guess as perhaps not the finest from the archives. Furthermore, the publishers insist in using this column-based format on the pages which does nothing to make it any easier to read, and gives it a rather high school textbook feel. Die-hard Ferrari fans won't find anything particularly earth-shattering here, but it's an easy enough read and would be perfect for someone who knows little of the team's rise from the ashes. |
