Böcker av Dominique Leroy

Ayrton Senna is one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers in history. Deified in Brazil, the man from Sao Paulo continues to fascinate long after his death on May 1, 1994, at the Imola circuit in Italy. Thirty years later, Daniel Ortelli, Thomas Woloch, and photographer Dominique Leroy have delved into Senna's story, from his debut in Formula 1 in 1984 to his final season with Williams ten years later. Through exclusive interviews and testimonies from those who knew the Brazilian intimately - drivers, team managers, mechanics - the authors provide a truly human portrait of this driver who became a legend in motorsports. His character, strengths, weaknesses, moments of joy, or doubt, all facets of the career of the man known as "Beco" or "Magic," are revealed in this fascinating book filled with untold stories and anecdotes. The entire narrative is richly illustrated with over 200 rare and unpublished photos by Dominique Leroy, a privileged witness to Ayrton Senna's career.

The interest in Formula 1 is greater than ever. With new races, more car manufacturers, and sold-out grandstands, the pinnacle of motorsport, with speeds of 300 km/h, has established itself as one of the world's most popular sporting events. But Formula 1 is a complex sport. In addition to highly trained super-athletes like Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, it's about advanced technology, intricate regulations, and at times, an almost unbelievable history filled with plenty of racing and intrigue over 75 years. The payoff for spectators and TV viewers increases with their knowledge of the sport. This book is aimed at the millions of new fans who have been fascinated by Formula 1 in recent years. At the same time, experienced Formula 1 enthusiasts will gain new knowledge, and the book will provide children, young people, and adults with plenty of moments of epiphany about the world's fastest (and most expensive!) sport.
