Condition: Used. Formula One (1999) Russel Hotten ? Orion Business Books ISBN: 0752830872 Condition: Used (like a set of race tyres after qualifying) Vendor: Crappy Old Books This is not a guide to overtaking into Turn 1. This is Formula One stripped of its glamour paint job and hauled into the garage marked: Big Business, Sharp Elbows . In Formula One , Russel Hotten looks past the shiny cars and bored-looking grid girls of the late 1990s and asks the serious questions, such as: How did a bunch of blokes racing oily death-traps around airfields turn into a billion-dollar travelling circus with its own politics, fiefdoms and merchandising departments? Who actually makes the money , and why is it never the people risking their necks at 190mph? How did one small man with large sunglasses end up owning more of the show than seems mathematically possible? Why does an industry based on speed move so spectacularly slowly when it comes to, say, changing anything important? Inside these suitably dog-eared pages you?ll find: The backstory of F1?s transformation from romantic chaos to global corporate juggernaut ? TV rights battles, sponsorship deals, manufacturer power plays, the whole glossy soap opera. Portraits of teams, circuits and power-brokers who understand that the real race happens in boardrooms long before the lights go out on Sunday. A tour of the money trail: tobacco cash, tech money, car giants and men who own entire grids worth of advertising hoardings. Anecdotes from the paddock that confirm your suspicion that half the people involved are mad, brilliant, or both, and the rest are lawyers. An era snapshot: the tail-end of the 90s, when Schumacher was busy rewriting the record books, liveries were still allowed to look like cigarette packets, and everyone thought the gravy train would go on forever. Think of it as F1: The Financial Thriller ? a behind-the-scenes report on the sport?s horsepower in contracts, not cylinders. Our copy is graded Used , which, in the pit-lane vernacular of Crappy Old Books , means: The cover has a few light scuffs, edge rubs or tiny creases ? cosmetic wear only, like a car with a bit of tyre marbling after a long stint. Still looks fast on the shelf. The spine is creased but solid, a sure sign someone?s actually read the thing rather than just deploying it as a macho coffee-table prop. No structural damage; no need for a gearbox change. The pages are all present, securely bound and pleasantly aged ? more ?well run-in engine? than ?barn find.? You might spot a dog-ear or pencilled mark where a previous reader said ?aha? at some particularly juicy broadcasting deal. No catastrophic coffee spills, no pages waving the white flag and detaching, no suspicious stains from trackside sandwiches. Just honest, race-proven wear. Not mint, not ?never left the box? ? but then, what self-respecting motorsport book wants to look like it?s never done a lap? Perfect for: F1 fans who suspect the real drama happens in contracts, not chicanes . Business nerds who find it reassuring that even in a world of cutting-edge engineering, meetings still run late and everyone argues about money. Readers nostalgic for late-90s Formula One, when tobacco logos were big, overalls were baggy and the Internet was just starting to discover fan forums. Anyone who?s ever watched a podium ceremony and thought: ?Yes, but who owns all this?? Formula One by Russel Hotten is a brisk, slightly scandalous tour of the sport?s commercial engine room ? the deals, wrangles and personalities that kept the grid rolling and the money flowing. Available now from Crappy Old Books , where our wheels are slightly scuffed, our engines are still running, and our ?Used? condition just proves this copy has already completed one full race distance around someone else?s brain.
