Mark Hughes führt den Leser auf die Reise, die die Formel 1 war; von Matadoren der Geschwindigkeit ihrer animalistischen Autos bis hin zu Testpiloten, die Rennwagen verkörpern, die die Höhe des technologischen Fortschritts und der kommerziellen Investition verkörpern. Die individuelle Wirkung der Meilensteine in der Technologie, die immer wieder in der Geschichte der Formel 1 vorgestellt wurde und die menschliche Geschichte hinter der Technologie hinter der Technologie – wird von denjenigen zentralen bis zu den Fortschritten selbst erzählt. Obwohl die moderne Formel 1 ebenso gefährlich ist wie in den ersten Jahren, die Gründe, warum sich geändert haben. Burning Rubber betrachtet auch die Rennhelden im Laufe der Jahre, mit einem Verständnis für die Qualitäten, die die großen Fahrer von dem Guten unterscheiden haben. Sie befasst die Einführung von kommerzieller Sponsoring im Jahr 1968, Sicherheitsprobleme und den Kampf um Kontrolle und Führung in der Branche durch die größten Spieler. Burning Rubber zollt die Formel 1 Hommage mit unendlichem Engagement für außergewöhnliche Fotografie und Design für den wohl teuersten und glamourösesten Sport der Welt.

From the 1950s to the present era these matadors of speed have been drawn like moths to a flame as they risk their lives in the unrelenting pursuit of excellence. But what makes the men in the cockpits drive themselves to the limits of human endurance? Who are the people behind the drivers whose passion and dedication to pursuing their dreams makes Formula 1 happen? Written by Mark Hughes, described as 'F1's Hemingway,' Speed Addicts delves deep into the psyche of motor racing. Touching on personal, technological and commercial aspects, it brings together every facet of this incredibly complex and utterly compelling sport. The book won the Prix du Livre Sportif Illustre in Monaco and the Best Illustrated Title at the British Sports Book Awards in 2006. Signed by Author(s). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers CNH0005051
