On May 13, 1950, the first race of a new racing championship started in the British Silverstone: Formula 1. The new premier class in motorsport was an immediate success, radio and television were on site, the drivers became heroes. Today the fast men have been fighting for the title of world champion for seven decades. This wonderful anniversary volume from the editorial team of auto motor und sport tells of triumphs and tragedies, of lucky and unlucky people, of men, cars and engines: an outstanding homage, illustrated with pictures by the best photographers from 70 years of Formula 1.

Michael Schmidt is responsible for Formula 1 reporting within the sports department of auto motor und sport magazine and is on site at every race. He looks after the Formula 1 yearbook, the Formula 1 season book and the Formula 1 calendar of the Motorbuch Verlag.
