I'm looking for something that explain the aerodynamic and dynamic(suspensions,chasis) of F1 car.

I already have the F1 technical Analysis yr 2000,thats the only F1 book that I have and obviously it is already outdated and not sufficient information.

Well....that kind of info is generally hard to find...but...the good books are usually the expensive ones....Formula 1 Technology by peter wright is a good book....but doesn't have enough detail.....it's a general apresentation of the F1 car....with a look back over history....but it's much more technical then the Nigel Mcknight books....

The is another book by peter wright...the has come on sale in the last month called "the publishers edition.....(something) Ferrari"....I spoke about it previously....it's an in depth look at the F2000.....it even has drawings og engine assembly and CFD shots....so a very good book, but...very expensive to....around 100 dolares....in march I'll write back about it cause I'm going to get it then.

Get 'F1 Technical analysis 2002/2003'. I got mine yesterday and it's pretty bloody interesting. Less so than F1 technical analysis 2001 edition though. But still the best f1 technical related book i have. If that's not enough u could consider 'race car engineering' by Paul Valkenbourgh(not sure of his name though). It's an introductory level book with specific explainations of car mechanics.

I've had the new Peter Wright book on the 2000 year Ferrari for a couple of days now. At first glance it just seems like a glossy coffee book tome but there is a lot of detail buried in the text and some superb illustrations by Tony Matthews The photographs are in the main way too small though.

There are quite a few engine and gearbox internal pictures but despite them saying in promotional literature that full access was granted some technical details remain firmly under wraps.

Well worth the 40 quid from Amazon though even for a non Ferrari fan

There are two versions on sale of what appears to be the same book though, the SAE one (256 pages) at £69.00 and the David Bull Publishing one (276 pages) at £41.99 (which I bought)
