Product Description

Praise for the hardcover edition:

"Among the nicest car books we have seen -- period. . . . Inside Ferrari is a must have."
-- Classic Motorsports

From the greatest automobile racing team in the world, Inside Ferrari is an exclusive and intimate report from inside Formula One's most successful, most alluring and most secretive racing team. This book provides a rare glimpse into the world-famous Ferrari factory, onto the Ferrari test track and inside the Ferrari garage. The book captures what it takes to be one of the world's great sports teams.

The camera division of the Olympus Corporation, a sponsor of the Ferrari Formula One team, commissioned Jon Nicholson to go behind the scenes at Ferrari and take exclusive photographs of its Fl team at work, both while preparing for races and during the races themselves. Nicholson and his teammate, racing journalist Maurice Hamilton, create a candid profile that is packed with exciting stories and action photos of behind-the-scenes workers and such internationally famous drivers as Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello.

Readers will discover some of the secrets involving:

The factory

The testing

The cars

The drivers

Racing

The Ferrari racing family

No one else has ever been given such access to Ferrari, and Inside Ferrari is a delight for the millions of Formula One racing fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ferrari fans - You will want to buy this book, Jan 9 2007

By CraigDN - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Inside Ferrari: Unique Behind-the-Scenes Photography of the World's Greatest Formula One Team (Hardcover)

I bought this book for my dad for Christmas. We are huge Ferrari fans and it's great to have a book on Ferrari that has some authenticity... there are stax of book on Ferrari, the cars, the F1 team and so on, but few of them have any real ties to the factory.

This is where this book is different. The foreword is by Jean Todt, the photographer is a hugely respected F1 photographer and the guy who wrote the bits between the photos is one of the most successful F1 writers around - a great recipe!

The authors were given exclusive access to Ferrari. Anyone who has been to the factory will know how secretive and restricted it is for visitors and appreciate seeing this hidden side of Ferrari.

If you are a Ferrari fan, you will want to add this one to your collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding addition to your Ferrari collection, Jan 7 2007

By Kevin P. Westmoreland - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Inside Ferrari: Unique Behind-the-Scenes Photography of the World's Greatest Formula One Team (Hardcover)

I had read about this book several months back, and, having followed Ferrari Formula 1 racing since the early 1970s, I had to have it. The photography is excellent, although most of the pictures are behind the scenes at Maranello or at various racing circuits around the world. The cars and the crews definitely take frontstage here, with the drivers being mentioned secondarily.

The author and photographer were given access to the team during the time that Rubens Barrichello was Michael Schumacher's teammate. This was definitely the modern golden age of Ferrari, with 5 straight driver's championships for Schumacher. The insider information is nice, but if you really follow Formula 1 you have probably heard much of this before.

What I liked best was the section featuring the tour of Enzo Ferrari's old office, the comparison of the racing and road car divisions of the factory, and the details of both Maranello and Fiorano, the two test tracks that Ferrari owns. The fact that the team can take the cars out, run full racing lengths daily, wet down the track as needed to test tires, etc. shows how important racing is to the workers that have taken Ferrari to the pinnacle of the pinnacle of motorsport.

At the price, this book is a steal. Stop reading and buy it!
