Summary:
"Wall Street Journal reporters and authors of 'The Club,' Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg tell the riveting saga of
how
Formula
1 broke through in America, detailing the eclectic culture of racing obsessives, glamorous settings, gearheads, engineering
geniuses
, dashing racers, and bitter rivalries that have made
F1
the
world
's fastest growing
sport
. For decades in America, car racing meant NASCAR, and to a lesser extent IndyCar, with
Formula
1-- the wealthiest racing league in the world--a distant third.Fast forward to 2023, and
F1
has emerged at the front of the pack powered by a passionate yet nascent American fanbase. The
F1
juggernaut has arrived, but this checkered flag was far from inevitable. In --'The
Formula
', Wall Street Journal reporters Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg tell the epic story of
how
F1
saved itself from collapse and finally conquered America through guile, fearlessness, and above all, reinvention. With fast cars, big money, glamorous locales, and beautiful people as the backdrop, --'The
Formula
' reveals
how
F1
's sudden arrival in the US was actually decades in the making, a product of the
sport
's near-constant state of transformation and experimentation. Bringing unique insight and access to
F1
's most storied teams and personalities--from Ferrari to Bernie Ecclestone to Christian Horner to Lewis Hamilton--'The
Formula
' offers a riveting portrait of the drivers, corporations, cars, rivalries, and audacious gambles that have shaped the
sport
for half a century. The end result is a high-octane history of
how
modern
F1
racing came to be--the first book to tell the story of the outrageous successes and spectacular crashes that led
F1
to this extraordinary yet precarious moment. More than just a sports story, 'The
Formula
' is the tale of a disrupter that broke
into
the crowded American sports marketplace and claimed its place through cash, personality, and a new understanding of what a
sport
needs to be in the age of wall-to-wall entertainment."--From publisher.
