Product Description
Motoring News
'Murray Walker's Formula One Heroes is a collaboration with long-time motor racing journalist Simon Taylor and profiles the drivers that have a special place in the commentator's heart. It presents a comprehensive description of their achievements and their personalities both in and out of the cockpit. Juan Manuel Fangio, Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna, Niki Lauda, Damon Hill; they're all here. Although all the individual profiles are vastly different, they share one common theme. When you read them you know they are written by a person has spent a lot of time with the drivers and has seen many sides of their personalities and got to know them on a personal level. At #20.00 it's a bargain because you know its accurate and the considered opinion of a motor racing expert.'

Format:Hardcover
A fitting tribute to many of the great motor sport legends, this book gives a great synopsis of the best, from Enzo Ferrari to Stirling Moss, Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher and many more. With delightful photographs and a detailed synopsis of the careers of each driver, Murray has completed a fine book that is a wonder to read. A must have for every motor sport enthusiast!

Format:Hardcover
The book has a couple of page long profiles of around twenty of the leading drivers. The book is designed to support his television programme. The section about circuits and other important figures in formula one is again insightful. The book is written in an enthusiastic style and Simon Taylor has cleverly mimicked the enthusiasm of Murray Walker.
It is a good start to learn about the history of the sport and the individual profiles are a good starting base to select the biographies for individual drivers. The 'Hereos' holds few surprises, but is well written and full of clear photographs which may have not been seen by many.
Recommended, but there are better books available.

One of the best books written by Murray Walker. His love and knowledge and feelings of formula 1 shows through,but to read about formula 1 drivers,the teams and the top men like Berni eccleston with such passion is a pleasure
