Mark Hughes takes the reader through the journey that has been Formula One's evolution; from matadors of speed driving their animalistic cars, to test pilots driving race cars that epitomlze the height of technological advance and commercial investment. The individual impact of milestones in technology that have repeatedly featured in Formula One's history--and the human story behind the technology--is told from those central to the advancements themselves. Although modern day Formula One remains equally dangerous as it was in the early years, the reasons why have changed. Burning Rubber also looks at the racing heroes over the years, with an understanding of the qualities that have distinguished the great drivers from the good. It addresses the introduction of commercial sponsorship in 1968, safety issues, and the battle for control and leadership in the industry by the biggest players. Cutting edge in terms of style and content, Burning Rubber pays Formula One homage with unending commitment to extraordinary photography and design--deserving for what is arguably the most expensive and glamorous sport in the world.
