After the last win for the evergreen Ford Cosworth DFV in 1983, turbos prevailed until regulation change for 1989 brought back normally aspirated engines, now of 3.5 litres. Besides Formula 1's high achievers, this book also covers the entire supporting cast, where much curiosity lies in discovering the travails of obscure and unsuccessful cars. This wide-ranging, colorful and authoritative book will be treasured by all Formula 1 fans. \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Year-by-year treatment covers each season in fascinating depth, running through the teams -- and their various cars -- in order of importance. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Two teams dominated the decade, McLaren and Williams taking all but two of the drivers' and constructors' titles: McLaren's World Champions were Niki Lauda (1984), Alain Prost (1985, 1986 and 1989) and Ayrton Senna (1988), while Williams's were Alan Jones (1980), Keke Rosberg (1982) and Nelson Piquet (1987). \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The two other significant winning teams were Brabham, which took Nelson Piquet to two drivers' titles (1981 and 1983), and Ferrari, which won two constructors' titles (1982 and 1983). \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Other winning marques were Benetton, Ligier, Lotus, Renault and Tyrrell. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Over 600 photos -- entirely in color and all from the magnificent archives of LAT Images -- show every type of car raced by every team and driver, presenting a comprehensive survey of all participants. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The sweep of the decade covers sustained technical advances, particularly in carbon-fiber construction and ever-increasing power outputs. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Detailed text includes car specifications and technical essentials. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Higham\u003c\/b\u003e works in motor racing as a writer and project manager.
