Gift Idea For Racing Fans: Assouline Formula 1 Book

The perfect gift for Formula One fans, Assouline’s Formula 1: The Impossible Collection is the latest in the New York publisher’s luxury hand-bound coffee table books.

The perfect gift for Formula One fans, Assouline’s Formula 1: The Impossible Collection is the latest in the New York publisher’s luxury hand-bound coffee table books and chronicles the milestones that transformed Formula One from a gentleman’s sport in the 1950s to the global sport that it is today.

With over 228 pages of racing history, Assouline’s Formula 1: The Impossible Collection highlights the technical innovations, drivers’ achievements, and exciting race finishes of immortal names like Juan Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark, Bruce McLaren, Enzo Ferrari, Colin Chapman, Bernie Ecclestone, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Jean Todt, Michael Schumacher, and Lewis Hamilton.

Written and collated by veteran F1 journalist Brad Spurgeon, he draws on his experience reporting on Formula One for the International Herald Tribune and The New York Times for over two decades, traveling to nearly every Formula One race each season over five continents. 

A tribute to the sport and all those who have made it possible over the decades, the handcrafted Ultimate Collection volume dynamically illustrates that Formula One is far more than “cars going around in circles,” it is the culmination of a passion that fires the mechanics, technicians, engineers and team directors behind the scenes, in addition to the drivers themselves, who are prepared to possibly pay the ultimate sacrifice to be part of its glorious history. 

Housed in a luxury clamshell case with a metal plaque, this spectacular tome is presented in a red canvas tote bag to preserve its craftsmanship.
