Product Description
Formula 1 Technology offers an in-depth look at the engineering, design and production of Formula 1 cars. It focuses on the most technically challenging years, showing how the technology and engineering have evolved from mechanical systems, most of which one could hold in the hand, look at closely, and see how they should work, to systems dominated by silicon wafers so small one can hardly see them. Author Peter Wright identifies and outlines five parameters — … More >>
I hoped more illustrations in color like the Ferrari on cover. If you look for Technical aspects, drawings and illustrations in color about Formula 1 cars, definitively Giorgio Piola books are the better.

Excellent in-depth look at F1 now and how it got this way.
Just buy it.

This book is outstanding for the depth of technical information, and it is not surprising that SAE International endorse the book. Although now several years old, the book is just as relevant, and in fact provides discussion of a number of the very significant changes in F1 that may take place over the next year or so.

The book really brings many explanations about F1 technologies.
Is very detailled and it has very good desings inside.
The only thing that I really felt missed is the actual technologies. (From ’02 until now)

This is an excellent guide to the major systems of an F1 car. Already a little dated because F1 changes so fast, it is still very informative and covers in depth all the technology that goes into these cars. The author worked in F1 for over 20 years for many top teams, he even helped pioneer many of the technologies that he describes in the book. A must buy for anyone wanting a look at why these cars are so fast.
