 Excellent May 7, 2003

This is an excellent guide to the major systems of an F1 car. Already a little dated because F1 changes so fast, it is still very informative and covers in depth all the technology that goes into these cars. The author worked in F1 for over 20 years for many top teams, he even helped pioneer many of the technologies that he describes in the book. A must buy for anyone wanting a look at why these cars are so fast.

This is an excellent book.
It is easily understood even for the neophyte to F1 like myself. The writing isnt too dry and it is easy to follow the writer's ideas. The layout is also intuitive especially the first chapter which gives an historical perspective and helps to set up the following chapters.
My only gripe is that the author doesnt mention the significant contribution of the pre World War 2 Auto Union to the current midengine design of formaula 1 cars.
Also wished the illustrations were better and more detailed

As someone who enjoys all aspects of Formula 1 racing, this book provided me with an excellent look at how the cars are built. Formula 1 Technology offers a behind-the-scenes, comprehensive look at the design and systems of the cars, and how they have evolved over the years. I found the book to be facisnating and educational. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys Formula 1 racing on a level that goes beyond the track. Author Peter Wright gets the pole position with this one!

This is easily the most comprehensive source for F1 technology I've seen since I've been in the business. Offers a complete guide to the field, with illustrations and diagrams that make complex topics easy to grasp. A must-have for anyone interested in up-to-date race car design and engineering!
