full of mistakes again from this author. instead of writing so many books he should correct all of the mistakes in the others

I would like to give some examples of the errors in this book but so poor was the proofing (or worse still the research) for this book that it ended up in a local charity shop not too long after purchase. This could end up in one or two Christamas stockings for fans coming to the sport, who read the content as factual. That is the real shame.

Nice try, but too many errors to be taken seriously
17 May 2008
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a Formula 1 fan for nearly 30 years, I still can't get enough data on the races, drivers and cars. At first glance this book appears to be an interesting, well researched and easy to read dose of F1 history, facts and figures. Unfortunately when one digs in, the number of inexcusable errors grows. One example states that the Red Bull team started their first race in Bahrain in 2006 (correct answer: Toro Rosso). The concept is good, but the author's delivery is remarkably sloppy - especially for a book this small. There are better books out there, don't waste your money buying this one.
