“Superheroes”, “gladiators”, “magicians”, “aliens”…
There is no shortage of superlatives to describe them. You are free to choose the one you prefer because they each live up to what these 34 drivers represent who have succeeded in realizing their wildest dream: becoming Formula 1 world champion.
Some of them were only able to achieve it once but it was the right time to leave an indelible mark in the premier category of motorsport.
Others have achieved this feat of remaining at the top or reconquering this Holy Grail a little later in their career.
But all of them would never have succeeded without these engineers, true wizards of modern times, and these team bosses whose personalities will remain forever engraved in the legend of F1.
Sacred stories that Daniel Ortelli and Loïc Chenevas-Paule, both journalists and authors, but above all Formula 1 enthusiasts, tell in this work with a very particular construction where nostalgia and (re)discoveries intertwine with a series of portraits illustrated by remarkable photos signed by Jean-François Galeron and his colleagues.
All under the leadership of Jean-Baptiste Gilou, conductor of this declaration of love to extraordinary champions, exceptional athletes, remarkable men. All.
