Personal Review: The Science of Formula 1 Design: Expert
analysis of the anatomy of the modern Grand Prix car by David
Tremayne
As promised by the title, this book provides lots of information about the
technology that goes into Formula 1 cars. The writing is easy to read, the
photographs and sketches are well-chosen, of good quality and easy to
follow. Even the constant struggle between politics, technical evolution and
the need to keep the playing field level finds its place in the book.
Now that the Super Aguri F1 team has gone, if you are wondering just why
the sport is so expensive, you'll find the answer here-supported by some
impressive statistics.
The only downside to this book is that the author has used copious
amounts of interview material verbatim. If you've seen how F1 mechanics,
bosses and drivers talk during an interview, you know there is very little
real meat in their words. Unfortunately this makes the book sound like an
extended press-release at times.
Beware of some fairly technical passages-you will need to have some
knowledge of how cars work in order to understand them.
