Disappointing book, lot of errors, insuficient information.
22 Aug 1999
By LOUIS JACQUES DUBOIS
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The bad surprise of this book is a lot of errors like typographical, wrong named or wrong wrote corners of circuits (more than a half at Interlagos !), some inexact text information, wrong lap record (Monaco 97 in a wet race !).A excess of photos of some cars (Ferrari and Sauber !), and some lacklustre and out of focus photos (start at Spain). Facts flinged at random in the circuits drawings. It is missing a datasheet with a annual summary of the winners, speed, fast lap, pole position; also the former circuits drawings (in small picture) to show the modifications through the years. The beautiful 2 page circuits drawings, some photos of the past and a fair price it is not enough to avoid the disappointment with this book, which it is not in the same high level of the other books of the celebrated author.

Not the Best, but a Great Book to Have Open During the Races
10 Jan 2002
By Kevin Nieman
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I must admit that I am relatively new to F1 racing. In 2001, I saw most of the races, and part of the way into the season, I bought this book to use as a reference as I watched the races live on TV. I am VERY glad I did because it enhanced my viewing greatly.
It was nice to open the book up to the Hockenheim page, for example, to see the chicanes, the long straightaways, the S-curve into the stadium section, etc. TV coverage might have one graphic that shows the whole circuit, but with the book beside me on the couch, I can refer to it throughout the race.
I like how the tracks are laid out on the pages. The tracks are colorful, they detail general speeds at various points on the track, and they feature a footnote about a famous incident or two over the years.
I know that there are more comprehensive books out there about the F1 circuits, but for a guy just getting into the sport, the book was PERFECT for me.
