Ferrari Formula 1 Car by Car by Stuart Codling is a fascinating look back at the history and technology of both Ferrari and Formula 1 itself。I have never been a big racing fan though I've always leaned toward F1 and Grand Prix rather than the old stock car racing that became NASCAR。 In the process of progressing from model to model in Ferrari's history this volume also touched on all of the key advances across the sport since changes were always to either catch up or get ahead of the curve。 Whil Ferrari Formula 1 Car by Car by Stuart Codling is a fascinating look back at the history and technology of both Ferrari and Formula 1 itself。I have never been a big racing fan though I've always leaned toward F1 and Grand Prix rather than the old stock car racing that became NASCAR。 In the process of progressing from model to model in Ferrari's history this volume also touched on all of the key advances across the sport since changes were always to either catch up or get ahead of the curve。 While I imagine someone with more technical knowledge than I have would get even more out of the book， I have just enough understanding to appreciate what the engineering and design changes meant。 For those with little to no technical knowledge I think Codling did a wonderful job of explaining why some changes were either essential or poorly considered in a manner that got the concepts across without the need for the reader to have a great deal of background。As one would expect， the pictures are excellent。 A very nice mix of stills， advertisements/posters， and racing shots。 It is always fun to see certain images， everybody will have their favorites。 I liked one image in particular where the shot was taken just when all four tires were off the ground。I would definitely recommend to both Ferrari and F1 fans， though I think even most casual car lovers will enjoy and appreciate the evolution of the vehicles and of the sport。Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via NetGalley。 。。。more

I'm not a petrol-head enough to know whether this is the book that Ferrari fans would want， but I can see few reasons why it might not be。 Superbly illustrated with period photos （action shots and engineering detailing both）， this is the entire cycle of failure and success the Prancing Horse has had on the track。 The text jumbles everything up， and the way the technical details are in amidst the stories of the actual race tournaments， and not covered separately， means the fan can easily see what I'm not a petrol-head enough to know whether this is the book that Ferrari fans would want， but I can see few reasons why it might not be。 Superbly illustrated with period photos （action shots and engineering detailing both）， this is the entire cycle of failure and success the Prancing Horse has had on the track。 The text jumbles everything up， and the way the technical details are in amidst the stories of the actual race tournaments， and not covered separately， means the fan can easily see what changes led to which success， which failure on the track led to that engineering rethink， and so on。 The whole takes us from the days when drivers and teams negotiated their own wage with the race promoters， and weren't all in it for an equal cut， and when it was just a matter of getting a driver to the chequered flag first， which at times meant him hopping out of one car and utilising his team-mate's， right up to the modern days of boring races， boring rule manipulation， and where a current champion can get lauded to gubbery while clearly using what is by far the best motor out there （one in which someone barely out his teenage years could win a race in at the first attempt， but for his staff being inept）。Formula 1 long ago lost the class it once had， but Ferrari never did （I put my blinkers on for the chapters about the 1960s）。 This is unofficial， and to repeat I don't know if the merging of cylinder talk with the season summaries will be ideal for all， but I am still convinced this will succeed as a valid tribute and car history book。 A strong four stars。 。。。more
