Crazy Racers is an innovative book, a manifesto of rebellion against the standardised, boring and unbearably politically correct interviews that mark contemporary Formula One.
Mario Donnini, long-time journalist and historical signature of Autosprint, collects these unusual and curious stories, some truly incredible, of authentic ‘madmen’ who have lived through or just touched on the world of F1, before following different paths.
In this book we discover figures such as the punk-rock engineer Gordon Murray, who reveals himself as never before, and Bruno Giacomelli, who recounts his choice to drive the Life, the slowest F1 car of all time, in 1990.
There are also extraordinary characters like Val Musetti, F1 driver against Gilles Villeneuve and Mario Andretti in the 1979 Race of Champions, who later became stuntman in Alien.
And what about Giovanni Aloi, the Mexican who, disappointed at not being able to race in the Lambo F1, decided to become a bullfighter? Or Quique Mansilla, who was assaulted by Senna in Formula Ford, tried out the McLaren F1 car and then became a gold digger?
These and others, together with the myth of James Dean, form a series of unforgettable and detoxifying portraits, in stark contrast to the mediocrity of modern racing, all enhanced by the fantastic extreme drawings of ‘Matitaccia’, alias Giorgio Serra.
240 pages. Text in Italian.
