Brought to life by Formula One correspondent Maurice Hamilton, they tell the story behind the infamous circuits that have played host to intense rivalries which have produced moments of tragedy and triumph that read like a film script. \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaurice Hamilton\u003c\/b\u003e has been part of the Formula One scene since 1977 and was the \u003ci\u003eObserve\u003c\/i\u003er's motor racing correspondent for 20 years.

Two photographers have built this archive: \u003cb\u003eBernard Cahier\u003c\/b\u003e and his son \u003cb\u003ePaul-Henri\u003c\/b\u003e, giving the collection two very different styles. Bernard was a reporter and had the gift to make people truly live events through his pictures. Paul-Henri, on the other hand, has always leaned towards an artistic approach to photography. The common ground of their photos though, is that they always go beyond the illustrative dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce described as the 'Cartier-Bresson of Motor Racing' due to his uncanny ability to capture key moments, \u003cb\u003eBernard Cahier\u003c\/b\u003e was a renowned photo-journalist. Starting in 1952, he covered both F1 and sports car races for innumerable magazines around the world and sometimes even raced himself, notably at Sebring and in the Targa Florio. He founded the IRPA (International Racing Press Association) in 1968 and remained its president until his retirement in 1985.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 11.5 x 10.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 14, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51770185875744,"sku":"9781781317082","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/b9b8c9691954bad5ba3c7f216ae7aa8d.webp?v=1780366633","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/formula-one-the-pursuit-of-speed-a-photographic-celebration-of-f1s-greatest-moments-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
