Book on F1

Post

Hi Guys

If you prefer this in another section please move it

I'm look for a new book to buy so I hoping someone can give me some heads up. I've done a few f1 autobiographies/biographies but i'm really looking for something else. More about the teams or the designing of the car, aerodynamics etc

Anyone ready anything worth suggesting?

Yes, get any of the technical bibles by Piola.
For example: http://amzn.com/8879115790

Look for Peter's Wright books on F1 (one is very detailed description of Ferrari F1-2000 the other is called something like Technology of Formula 1 and is available in e-book format from SAE)

That would be "Formula 1 Technology", great book.

To my mind the Wright/Ferrari book is more entertaining and has some very useful graphs in it. F1 tech is fine as well, but a bit of a broad brush in comparison.

Yes, and sadly, SAE does not sell them as e-books. Formula 1 Technology you can get much more conveniently.
