45 stories about celebrated pilots, each in its own way revealing the thrilling and deadly risky world of the “queen of motorsport.”
For example: Senna, Prost, Lauda, Schumacher, as well as legends of the past: Nuvolari, Rosemeyer, Nuver, Caridge.
The book brings together biographies of 45 outstanding racers. Some—Senna, Prost, Lauda, Schumacher—became true idols of millions; others, heroes of earlier years like Nuvolari, Rosemeyer, McLaren and Stewart, over time faded into the shadows; and still others—Nuver, de Portago, Albareto, Caridge—turned into unjustly forgotten figures. Each chapter highlights different eras and facets of the “queen of motorsport,” from its romance to its dangers.
