EDITOR'S NOTE 

Scented with notes of rubber, this edition offers a sensory connection to the racetrack, evoking the high-octane world of Formula 1. For the average reader, even driving a single lap of a Grand Prix would be impossible, but for the world’s twenty best racing drivers in the series’ ten teams, it is a way of life that is extreme in almost every facet. With the popularity of the Netflix series Drive to Survive, the premiere of the new film F1, and the seventy-fifth anniversary of Formula One, Assouline presents this new edition, updated to reflect recent developments such as the incredible domination of the Red Bull team.

This handcrafted Ultimate Collection volume chronicles the milestones that lifted Formula One from a gentlemen’s club in 1950 to a global sport with hundreds of millions of fans around the world. Highlighting exceptional technical innovations, remarkable drivers’ achievements and exciting race finishes, Formula 1: The Impossible Collection illuminates immortal names such as Juan Manuel Fangio, Bruce McLaren, Enzo Ferrari, Colin Chapman, Bernie Ecclestone, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Jean Todt, Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.

A spirited tribute to the sport and all those who have made it possible over the decades, this book dynamically illustrates the passion that fires the mechanics, technicians, engineers and team directors behind the scenes, and the drivers themselves, who are prepared to possibly pay the ultimate sacrifice to be part of its glorious history.
