Description: The Great Challenge 5 presents the Formula 1 motorsport photography of Rainer W. Schlegelmilch This photographic documentation includes biographies and portraits of the world champions Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso, Damon Hill, Mika Hakkinen and Jacques Villeneuve as well as briefer profiles of 22 more Formula 1 drivers of this era: Jean Alesi, Rubens Barrichello, Jenson Button, David Coulthard, Pedro Diniz, Giancarlo Fisichella, Heinz-Harald Frentzen, Nick Heidfeld, Johnny Herbert, Eddie Irvine, Felipe Massa, Juan Pablo Montoya, Olivier Panis, Kimi Räikkönen, Mika Salo, Takuma Sato, Ralf Schumacher, Jarno Trulli, Jos Verstappen, Mark Webber, Alexander Wurz and Alessandro Zanardi. The collection entitled "The Great Challenge" recounts the history of the great races and their heroes, their victories and defeats from 1962 until the present. Wonderfully expressive portraits alternate with exciting racing scenes and images that capture the spirit of the times. The foreword to the fifth volume was written by Jean Todt. Major figures in the world of motor sports comment on their view of the Schumacher era, including Bernie Ecclestone, Ross Brawn, Flavio Briatore, Mika Hakkinen, Martin Brundle, Felipe Massa and Max Flückiger. "The Great Challenge 5" meets the highest standards of printing and finishing. Like the first four volumes of "The Great Challenge", experts already consider it to be a premium collectible, especially now that the numbered set of 5 volumes has been completed.
