Product Description
This is, by now, a traditional technical analysis of the previous season, which saw Ferrari and Michael Schumacher win again the World Drivers' and Constructors' championships. The mechanics and chassis of each team's cars are described in great detail, race after race: cockpits, steering wheels, pedals and brakes, tires, suspension, load and nose-cones. All with rich arrays of extremely attractive and useful sketches and technical designs signed by Piola, which contribute to making this analysis of the maximum Formula clearer and more legible, even for the less expert.

As a fan of open wheel racing and F1 in particular this book is an absolute joy. I have always marveled at the team aspect of the sport. Drive and engineer working along side of the mechanics as a team to produce the fastest car on Sunday. TV couldn't show you how this is being done, but you knew it was happening. The engineers were reviewing the data, talking to the drivers and then focusing the mechanics to get the car that extra 10th of a second. Then back at the factory, the aerodynamicist are working 24/7 to get even more out of the car.This book shows the fruits of their collective efforts and explains them in a way the fan and the engineer can understand and appreciate. A first rate father's day gift and an excellent choice for any other occasions for a racing fan. I'm going back and buying the rest of the series!
Stunning Detail of the Greatest F1 Car Ever December 3, 2003
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The F2002 was easily one of the most dominant Formula One cars in recent history. Not since the early '90 Williams or the last '80 McClarens has there been such a dominant car in one season. In addition, Ferrari had the best driver on their side, which resulted in one of the most lopsided Championship battles in F1 history. In short, Ferrari's constructor points for the year were exactly the sum of all other teams that participated in the 2002 Championship. And it was all due to the radical car design that was leaps in bounds above both its predecessor, the strong F2001, and all of the combatants.This book does an amazing job, as it has done every year since inception, in recreating the super-detailed nuances of each Formula One car that participated in the Championship and its evolution from the prior season car to the car that closed it out in Suzuka. In addition, the book gives a preview of the 2003 cars that just wrapped the season. It would be better if this was more timely, but given the level of detail its amazing that Mr. Piola gets this done five years after the season wraps! Overall, an amazing book for the F1 fanatics who give pause to the detail of an F1 car and the struggles teams go through to get the aerodynamics just right. Yet given the detail, the well drawn pictures make it easy to see the changes made from race to race, and the verbiage is easy enough for a non-F1 nut to follow. Fantastic book, look forward to the 2003 edition. It is a bit Ferrari-focused given the author is Italian and Ferrari have dominated the Constructor's trophy for the past five seasons.
