Kierowcą wyścigowym został wbrew woli ojca. Upór popłacał, bo wdarł się do światowej czołówki lotem błyskawicy, zapisując się w historii jako jeden z najlepszych zawodników, jakich widziała królowa motorsportu. Trzykrotny mistrz świata, który po tytuły sięgał w barwach legendarnych zespołów: Ferrari i McLarena. Triumfator 25 Grand Prix, którego gigantyczne doświadczenie stajnie wykorzystywały jeszcze długo po zakończeniu przez niego wyścigowej kariery. Niki Lauda stał się inspiracją dla kolejnych pokoleń kierowców, między innymi Nico Rosberga, który nazywa go swoją inspiracją. Sukcesy odnosił nie tylko na torze, ale i w biznesie, choć historię jednego z jego najsłynniejszych interesów znaczy wypadek samolotu należących do niego linii lotniczych, w którym życie straciły 223 osoby. Oto kierowca naznaczony. Namaszczony przez opatrzność do tworzenia wielkich rzeczy, oszpecony przez szatana, który w 1976 roku próbował odebrać mu życie. Poznacie jego losy.

Vychutnajte si slávu Formuly 1 s touto výnimočnou knihou, ktorá je poctou 34 majstrom sveta a ich dramatickým, často tragickým príbehom. Obsahuje viac ako 300 unikátnych fotografií z pretekov a zákulisia, z ktorých mnohé neboli doteraz publikované. Portréty šampiónov zachytávajú vyše 70-ročnú históriu F1, od čias, ktoré sú dnes takmer nepoznateľné. Text napísal známy novinár a komentátor Maurice Hamilton, ktorý čerpal z osobných rozhovorov s ikonami, ako sú Niki Lauda, James Hunt a Ayrton Senna. Fotografie sú dielom ocenených autorov, otca a syna Bernarda a Paul-Henri Cahierovcov, ktorí vytvorili jedinečnú zbierku snímok dokumentujúcich históriu F1. Kniha zahŕňa legendy ako Fangio, Stewart, Prost, Schumacher, Häkkinen a Hamilton, pričom ich príbehy sú prezentované vo veľkom formáte na 240 stranách. Predslov napísal dlhoročný šéf F1 Bernie Ecclestone. Kniha je oslavou neľútostného športu a jeho hrdinov, ktorí jazdili na hrane, alebo aj za ňou.
Od začátku mistrovství světa formule 1 v roce 1950 získalo titul pouze 34 závodníků. Legendární zpravodaj z prostředí formule 1 Maurice Hamilton a oceňovaní fotografové Bernard a Paul-Henri Cahierové poprvé shromáždili hrdiny této kultovní sportovní disciplíny tak, že vznikl úžasný dokument textů a fotografií o rozvaze, dovednosti a vítězném duchu.Zásluhou dosud nezveřejněných fotografií z historie formule 1, citátů, předmluvy od Bernieho Ecclestonea a Mauriceových historických rozhovorů se zesnulými hrdiny je tato kniha krásným uctěním nejdravější sportovní disciplíny a skvělých sportovců, kteří v honbě za úspěchy a nehynoucí slávou závodili na hranici možností. Někteří vynikali tím, jak motivovali celý tým kolem sebe, jiní v technické vyzrálosti, další byli prostě rychlejší než ostatní.Všechny však spojovala obrovská soutěživost a vychytralost. Hrstka z nich byla ochotna obětovat mistrovskému titulu daleko víc než druzí. Fakt je, že když na tom záleželo, každý závodník z této knihy ze sebe dokázal vyždímat, co mohl. Vzhledem k počtu šampionů autor neměl moc prostoru se o každém z nich příliš rozepisovat, ale naštěstí zde platí, že obrázek vydá za tisíc slov.

"Celebrate 40 years since James Hunt's World Championship and the legendary life, endless carouses and career milestones of a true legend of Formula 1. After discovering motor racing at 17, Hunt began by building and racing his own Mini. Moving into Formula Ford and Formula 3, his progress was noted for daring and aggressive driving rather than outright successes. Making the step up to Formula 1 with the colourful Hesketh team, Hunt came third in his first race. He finished second in the United States Grand Prix, and rounded off 1973 with the Campbell Trophy for best British driver. Hunt scored his first Grand Prix win in Holland in 1975, finishing fourth in the World Championship. His status as a superstar developed rapidly in 1976 when he joined McLaren and fought for the title against his great rival, Niki Lauda. James Hunt became World Champion at the final race of a season so dramatic and controversial that it became the subject of a Hollywood feature film." -- Provided by publisher.

The Legendary Story of Frank Williams and His F1 Team in Their Own Words
Founded in 1977 by Sir Frank Williams and Patrick Head, Williams F1 represents the last of the true independent teams; a company devoid of corporate dogma and run by enthusiasts driven by a love of racing and the satisfaction that comes with beating the rest of the world. Since its first Grand Prix victory at Silverstone on 14 July 1919, the team has won a further 116 GPs, delivered seven World Champions—among them Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill—and won nine Constructors Championships. This is the definitive history of the Williams team as told by those who have worked for Williams past and present. At the heart of the book are Sir Frank's personal recollections, along with memories and anecdotes from those at every from the shop floor to the upper strata of management; from the mechanics and machinists to the drivers—Mansell, Hill, Alain Prost, and Alan Jones among them. It relates both the incredible highs of winning against the odds while never shying the terrible lows—the tragic deaths of Piers Courage in 1970 and Ayrton Senna in 1994 among them. Conveying the history and soul of a unique band of people, Williams F1 explains exactly why the Williams team is held in more affection than any other team in Britain, if not the world.

Jordan's Drive to Win
This title should have been a record of glorious success. Instead, it turned into a thriller, the inside story of a struggle to survive in one of the most cut-throat and glamorous sports in the world. In 1998 the Jordan team set out with the intention of winning their first Grand Prix. Confidence was high. The budget was in place. So was the technology to build a winning car. Tempting Damon Hill to drive was the final step. However, it soon became apparent that finishing the race would be an achievement, never mind winning it. As the season got into its stride, Jordan were left behind. The book had been agreed before optimism had given way to disappointment. Yet Jordan permitted the authors to continue their work and record the sometimes excruciating story of a team in crisis.
Pays tribute not just to the elite of motor racing, but to the promising, the professional and the poorest of Grand Prix entrants. The eleven teams are united by a love of motor sport at its highest level. Col. photos, quarto.
