Author: Quentin Spurring
Following the success of its sister volumes, which covered the 1960s and 1970s, this book features another classic era of Formula 1 racing. The 1980s saw the emergence of McLaren and Williams as the dominant teams. Normally aspirated engines gave way to more powerful turbocharged units, before the regulations changed in 1989 to favor non-turbo motors again. The defining drivers were Gilles Villeneuve, Alan Jones, Nelson Piquet, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna. The 1980s saw the demise of the privateer entrants as technology and costs escalated. Filled with photos for the discerning Formula 1 fan.
