Description: In this book, Roger Smith sets out to analyse Grand Prix racing since 1950. After more than 200 pages of analysis, he comes up with the answer most of us could have told him anyway, Juan Manuel Fangio was the greatest driver ever. It is nonetheless a fascinating insight into the facts behind the legends of Formula One. Smith does make a glaring error on page 116, when he states that the minimum race distance set in 1950 was 300 km, when it was 500 km. The 300 km distance was instituted in 1958. If facts and figures are your thing, then you must have this book.
