As Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc battle it out head-to-head in the most hotly contested championship in years, this in-depth book, with a foreword from Haas team principal Guenther Steiner, tells the story of how the sport evolved into the exhilarating high octane spectacle it is today.

The new rules introduced in 2022 signal the greatest change to F1 in a generation, cracking the field wide open and seeing some of the most compelling and competitive races in the last 25 years.

So, how did we get here? How did F1 become the acknowledged ‘Pinnacle of Motorsport'? Simon Arron and Tony Dodgins have identified the 100 most significant changes to the series since its inception in 1950. Formula One is unrecognizable from its debut season, where drivers raced around on old bomber training aerodrome in Northamptonshire with oil drums to mark the corners and straw bales the only concession to safety.

Along with changes to circuits and the technology of the cars, this book highlights the commercial changes and the controversies that threatened to split the sport apart - such as the threat of breakaway series proposed at various times by teams.

A must-read for completists or for those new to the sport, F1: The Pinnacle is a fascinating insight into one of the most exciting and dangerous sports in the world.

随着刘易斯·汉密尔顿（Lewis Hamilton）、马克斯·维斯塔潘（Max Verstappen）和查尔斯·勒克莱尔（Charles Leclerc）多年来在竞争激烈的**赛中正面交锋，这本由哈斯车队负责人根特·斯坦纳（Guenther Steiner）作序的深度书籍，讲述了这项运动如何演变为今天令人振奋、刺激的奇观。

那么，我们是如何走到今天的？F1是如何成为公认的“赛车界中的殿堂级赛车”的？西蒙·阿伦（Simon Arron）和托尼·多金斯（Tony Dodgins）确定了自1950年成立以来该系列赛事的100项重要变化。F1一级方程式赛车与它的首个赛季相比已不可同日而语，当时车手们在北安普敦郡的老式轰炸机训练机场上比赛，用油桶标记弯道，用稻草包作安全保障。

伴随着赛道和汽车技术的变化，本书强调了商业变化和关于这项运动的争议，例如车队在不同时期谈判破裂的威胁。
