Stunning photography and insightful and thoughtful writing from one of the world's most travelled Formula One commentators, make Formula One Circuits From Above a fantastic volume to have by your side when you watch the F1 World Championship unfold. The colour, drama, history and excitement of Formula One will never be better displayed in this exceptional volume.

Formula One Circuits From Above gives the reader the perfect insight into what makes Formula 1 the most exciting and dramatic of all forms of motorsport. The unique photography provided by Google™ Earth shows each circuit's challenges and why only the very best drivers in the world can succeed in Formula One.

Television cameras, even using High Definition and 3D, flatten and foreshorten racetracks making them, if not featureless, then apparently undemanding. If you were to sit at the Eau Rouge section of Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, walk up to the Casino from the harbour at Monaco, or look out onto the desert at Sakhir, you would quickly realise that these are serious challenges - each entirely different from the other.

Stunning photography and insightful and thoughtful writing from one of the world's most travelled Formula One commentators, make Formula One Circuits From Above a fantastic volume to have by your side when you watch the F1 World Championship unfold. The colour, drama, history and excitement of Formula One will never be better displayed in this exceptional volume.

Great for F1 Fans

Reviewed in Australia on 3 January 2021

Verified Purchase

I purchased this book for my F1-mad 11 year old son. The pictures are amazing and the accompanying information is very interesting. F1 fans could spend hours just looking at the pictures! Overall, a very nice 'coffee table' book, although, as an Australian, I did have a chuckle when reading about the Albert Park track in Melbourne - where it discusses how the Australian GP was moved from Adelaide to Melbourne and it states how "... New South Wales Premier Jeff Kennett ..." secured the rights to hold the race. Um ... Jeff Kennett was the Premier of Victoria, not New South Wales. Never the less, a wonderful and enjoyable book.

A perfect gift for dad

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 March 2021

Verified Purchase

I bought this book for my dad. He absolutely loves it. It shows each race track from above and tells you the history of them. The race track pictures show the average speed and gear for the race cars as they go around each bend. My dad can’t wait for the season to start. One of the best gifts I’ve ever bought him! Really nice quality & Perfect for the Formula 1 enthusiast!

Buen libro

Reviewed in Mexico on 9 November 2021

Verified Purchase

Le doy 3 estrellas dado que podría el autor sacar más provecho de lo que ofrece la fotografía satelital, como agregar las distancias e incluir una sección exclusiva para datos técnicos de la pista, este libro lo van a comprar fans de la F1, entonces estaría increíble agregar datos relevantes a las carreras como son los sectores, elevación de la pista, zonas de DRS, ancho de la pista, típicas condiciones climatológicas de esa pista, etc. Si el autor observa el opening de los GPs en F1TV podrá darse cuenta como estos datos son importantes y relevantes para los fans.
