The intro is hilarious - 'Terry is one of the most famous people in the known universe, and his bottom is only slightly less well known than his face. It has, of course, only been displayed when strictly necessary on artistic grounds, but such is the nature of his art that this has turned out to be extraordinarily often.'

Got this on paperback years ago, it's a fun, quick read.

Read this a few times, brilliant and fascinating every time.

Brilliantly detailed account.

Absolute classic.

Funny and fascinating in equal amounts, this is a great read through the history of F1. The only issue I have is that about three quarters of the way through it reveals it's very US-view of the world. The section on how Liberty Capital had a brainwave to do a netflix series allowing access to the drivers and owners in a way never seen before just doesn't ring true for anyone who's ever watched any of the BBC or ITV coverage from the 80s onwards. It's as if Martin Brundle had never shoved a microphone into Bernie's face to get a quick quote or an acidic comment from Christian Horner before. Never mind the access and encyclopedic knowledge of Murray Walker. I came away with the impression of a lack of research or just a very US centred view. Otherwise, a great read.

A loving wander through the 80's and early 90's viewed through the ZX Spectrum's games.

2nd reading
