Mick Hill – författare

Mick Hill’s colourful book is packed with his signature artwork, and skillfully showcases the cars, drivers and designers that contributed to the history of Formula 1. Beginning with the flags for hosting countries, it goes on to show every winning car and its specifications, with details of its designers, drivers, points, and races won. It also shows cars that may not have won but played a big part in F1 history; privateer teams such as Surtees, Hill, Lec and Ensign; and unusual designs. The book also considers drivers’ helmets, from historic leather caps to modern carbon fibre, as well as the world championship stickers from teams and sponsors, a memento for fans to the race meetings they attended. A complete reference of the first 70 years of F1, this book will appeal to motor racing fans young and old.
