Ferrari Les monoplaces de Grand Prix, by Alan Henry, published in 1984, here in the French edition, appears on the bookshelves of many Ferraristi.
This book traces the history of Italy's most famous marque, from its first Grand Prix races in the immediate post-war period, through its many world titles, to its fantastic turbocharged single-seaters.
Among Formula 1 teams, Scuderia Ferrari is a unique combination of tradition and cutting-edge technology. Still run by 86-year-old Enzo Ferrari, the Maranello-based company enters the 1984 season with one of the most extraordinary single-seaters ever built.
The technical reasons behind the construction of each Ferrari Grand Prix car are explained, along with all the results achieved, giving space to the key figures of this story.
Mauro Forghieri, Ferrari's engineer and chief designer, and many famous drivers, Niki Lauda, Jody Scheckter, Patrick Tambay, Chris Amon, Richie Ginther, Tony Brooks, Clay Regazzoni, Carlos Reutemann, Mike Hawthorn, Juan-Manuel Fangio and Cliff Allison, who contributed to the Ferrari legend, driving the red cars during the 36 years covered in the book.
