For the first time, <b>legendary F1 commentator Maurice Hamilton</b> and <b>award-winning photographers Bernard and Paul-Henri Cahier</b> bring the heroes of this iconic sport together, in a stunning photographic portrayal of the poise, skill and winning mindset that separates the fast from the furious, the elite from the talented. <p/> Formula One and its champions are <b>brought to life with: </b><ul><li>An exquisitely written profile of each of the 33 F1 World Champions, with key details from the driver's life and F1 career</li><li>Stunning photography of the drivers and their cars, both on and off the track</li><li>Historic interviews with the sport's lost heroes, including James Hunt and Ayrton Senna</li><li>Exclusive quotes from icons such as Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg</li><li>A foreword by Bernie Ecclestone, former chief executive of the Formula One Group</li></ul> Debate has raged over <b>which driver is the best of the best</b>.

The trio is well-placed to take on the task... it all ensures that in this book each champion receives a lavish portrait in words and pictures. <br> Great value and highly recommended.'<b><i> - Motorsport News</b></i><br><br>'Fine writing is complemented by great imagery provided by Paul-Henri and Bernard Cahier.'<b><i> - Motorsport magazine</b></i><br><br>'The old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words certainly applies here. With Hamilton's profiles being succinct, it allows the iconic Cahier Archive - built by Bernard and his son Paul-Henri - to come to the forefront and leave a lasting impression on the reader... Hamilton and the Cahier Archive have combined again to create a statement piece which would be a very worthy addition to your Formula 1 collection. 4/5 - Highly recommended.'<b><i> - PlanetF1</b></i><br><br>'This is a book that once opened, you will not want to put down until you have thumbed through all 240 pages.'<b><i> - Our man behind the wheel</b></i><br><br>"A must-have for anyone interested in the stories of Formula One drivers, their professional lives and racing careers."<b><i> - Bruce Herrington, PANDO Magazine</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Maurice Hamilton</b> has been part of the Formula One scene since 1977 and was the <i>Observe</i>r's motor racing correspondent for 20 years. He has written more than 20 books as well as commentating on Formula One for BBC Radio. He is now actively involved with the online community on Twitter and writes several blogs whilst continuing to write books about racing. </p><p><b>The Cahier Archive</b> is the only photographic collection covering the history of the Formula One Championship to have remained in the hands of its original authors. Two photographers have built this archive: <b>Bernard Cahier</b> and his son <b>Paul-Henri</b>, giving the collection two very different styles. Bernard was a reporter and had the gift to make people truly live events through his pictures. Paul-Henri, on the other hand, has always leaned towards an artistic approach to photography. The common ground of their photos though, is that they always go beyond the illustrative dimension.</p><p><b>Bernie Ecclestone</b> is the former chief executive of the Formula One Group, which manages Formula One and controls the commercial rights to the sport.</p>
