Since we last heard from him, Guy Martin has restored a 1983 Williams F1 car then raced Jenson Button in it; helped to build a WWI tank; ridden with Putin's favourite biker gang the Night Wolves; competed on the classic endurance circuit; stood on top of one of Chernobyl's nuclear reactors and taken part in his last ever Isle of Man TT. Then there's the stuff he really can't wait to get out of bed for: 12-hour shifts for a local haulage firm and taytie farming in his new John Deere tractor. Besides all this, he's saved his local pub from closure and become a dad.

Enzo Ferrari diceva: "Date un foglio di carta a un bambino, dategli dei colori e chiedetegli di disegnare un'automobile, sicuramente la farà rossa." Devo dire che aveva ragione. Dalla prefazione di Charles Leclerc. La storia della Formula 1 è un vero e proprio romanzo iniziato il 13 maggio del 1950 in Inghilterra. Da allora sono trascorsi settant'anni, ricchi di avventure, successi, gioie, ma anche di dolori e tragedie.

"Формулой-1" правят визуальные образы: гаснут огни стартового светофора, и яркие машины отправляются нарезать круги по живописным трассам; взмах клетчатого флага, и победитель становится героем на все времена, вроде Михаэля Шумахера, Айртона Сенны или Ники Лауды - человеком, олицетворяющим "королеву автоспорта". Эти небожители порой затмевают лучами своей славы пилотов, чьи истории подчас не менее знаменательны и драматичны, полны трагедий и триумфов. Пилотов, которые по праву могут считаться легендарными.

Five minutes to go. The claxon sounds, harsh as an air raid siren. Television crews attempt last-minute interviews with riders. The thousand yard-stares give it away: they're really not listening now. Four minutes to go. The grandstand is packed. Some racers tell their mechanics, 'I'll see you later for a pint' - just to make themselves believe they will. Three minutes to go. For the first man on the road, hidden dangers exist. He will have no-one to follow. And he is the hare that the greyhounds will be chasing.

Who won the first Daytona 500? Fans still debate whether it was midwestern champion Johnny Beauchamp, declared the victor at the finish line, or longtime NASCAR driver Lee Petty, declared the official winner a few days after the race. Author John Havick interviewed scores of people, analyzed film of the race, and pored over newspaper accounts of the event. He uses this information and his deep knowledge of the sport as it worked then to determine what probably happened. But he also tells a much bigger story.
