Introduction
Description
In the last few years Formula One has undergone enormous changes, remarkable races and spectaular crashes. The 'Prof' has been present at them all and in this riveting new book he gives us a unique inside account of the world's most dangerous sport.
The FIA's President Max Mosley, has launched a zero option policy with the goal of zero mortality and much research and development has gone into the technical changes to the cars, circuit design, safety barrier development and personal protection in the cockpit. But as Watkins knows only too well, uncertainty and unpredictability provide the thrills both the fans and drivers crave.
In Beyond The Limit he tells us in fascinating detail just how these changes have been implemented, but he also discusses some of the extraordinary Grands Prix the sport has seen in the last four years, including Schumacher's epic crash at Silverstone in 1999 and some of the great drivers he has known. The Prof is renowned for being one of Formula One's best storytellers and his reminiscences of Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, Jack Brabham and Stirling Moss - to name but a few - will delight motor racing fans everywhere.
Here too, is a race-by-race account of the millennium season, from the Australian Grand Prix in March 2000 to the Malaysian Grand Prix in October 2000, offering a completely up-to-date picture of Formula One at the beginning of the 21st century.
