Discover Formula One's most iconic drivers with stunning photography, insight from celebrated F1 journalist Tony Dodgins, and a foreword by Christian Horner, Team Principal of Red Bull Racing.

At the heart of Formula One lies the triumphs and tragedies of the sport's greatest stars. The drama, personality, and thrill of the sport are borne of these cult drivers where only the fastest and bravest survive.

In Formula One: The Legends, Dodgins profiles 32 of F1's iconic drivers from the 1950s to the present day. As well as examining the racers of the past, such as Jackie Stewart, Alain Prost, and Ayrton Senna, the text will profile living legends such as Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, and legend-in-the-making Max Verstappen.

Uniquely, this book also features stars of the sport who tragically died or were terribly injured before they could realise their true potential, but nevertheless left a lasting legacy.

Decade by decade since the inception of the championship, Formula One: The Legends profiles the following legends of F1: Ascari, Fangio, Moss, Hawthorn, Brabham, Graham Hill, McLaren, Gurney, Surtees, Clark, Stewart, Rindt, Andretti, Peterson, Fittipaldi, Lauda, Hunt, Scheckter, Jones, Gilles Villeneuve, Piquet, Prost, Mansell, Senna, Hakkinen, Schumacher, Damon Hill, Jacques Villeneuve, Button, Alonso, Raikkonen, Rosberg, Vettel, Hamilton, Verstappen, and Leclerc.

About the Author

When the realities of funding a racing career in Lotus Cortinas and Van Diemens became apparent, Tony Dodgins opted for the typewriter. He won the Sir William Lyons award for young motoring journalists in 1979 after interviewing Frank Williams at Silverstone the day before Williams won its first grand prix. Tony joined Autosport in 1985 and became their grand prix editor. He has also been the grand prix editor for Motoring News, F1 Racing magazine (now GP Racing), On Track, and has been a regular columnist for Autosport Japan for more than 20 years. He is the editor of the renowned Autocourse yearbook, which has been published since the World Championship began in 1950. After BBC radio work, Tony became the Channel 4 race analyst working on F1 coverage alongside commentator Ben Edwards and now Alex Jacques.
