The pinnacle of motorsport, Formula One was born in 1950 at the British Grand Prix and ever since the inaugural Silverstone race has repeatedly delivered drama, unforgettable drives and controversy both on and off the track. Celebrating three quarters of a century of high-octane thrills and spills in 2025, it boasts a global fan base of millions and remains a byword for entertainment and petrol-infused exhilaration. 75 Years of Formula One charts the fascinating history of Grand Prix racing over its first eight decades of action, telling the unique story of how F1 grew irresistibly from a modest, predominantly European event with only seven races into a worldwide sporting phenomenon. The book also profiles the F1 World Championship’s legendary drivers from iconic Argentinian Juan Manuel Fangio to the inimitable Ayrton Senna, Jackie Stewart to the unstoppable Michael Schumacher, all the way up to modern greats Lewis Hamilton and reigning world champion Max Verstappen.

The author of Lewis Hamilton – The Rise of Formula One’s New Superstar, Iain Spragg is a journalist with more than 25 years experience in sports media. A biographer of sporting greats including Roger Federer, Cristiano Ronaldo and Anthony Joshua, he has worked extensively for the UK print and digital media and written official titles for clients including World Rugby, Tottenham Hotspur and the British Olympic Committee. 

* Formula One holds pole position in the world of motorsport, its status built on iconic manufacturers like Ferrari and elite circuits around the world – from Monaco to Tokyo.
* Formula One is broadcast in almost every country in the world and attracts one of the largest global television audiences, estimated to be 750 million people per race in 2024.
