Rivalries for the ages in Grand Prix racing!
14 Nov 1998
Format:Hardcover
Alan Henry's portraits of the great one-on-one rivalries that have characterized F1 over the decades is a probing look at what drives the drivers themselves. It begins with the extraordinary relationship that developed between the veteran Fangio and the young Moss when both drove for the Mercedes-Benz factory team in 1955, and goes on to cover Clark and Hill, Lauda and Hunt, Villeneuve and Pironi, Schumacher and Damon Hill, and many others.

OK, but not extraordinary
28 Mar 2002
Format:Hardcover
I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed with this book, both with text and photography. OK, the author covers all the major rivalries of the sport and the basic stories behind them, starting with Fangio and Moss in the 50s, all the way up to Hill vs. Schumacher in the 90ies. But considering some of the most sizzling temper-clashes on track, like Senna vs Prost, the book comes off pretty lame. The photography is OK, but not superb, and that is another letdown, considering that this is a coffee-table size book that is seeking balance between pictures and words. If you are a fan, it completes your collection, but don't go out of your way to find this. I recommend finding it used.
