From the Publisher
The Formula One of the period that is the subject of this book is a foreign country.
They did almost everything differently there from the way it’d been done previously and the way it’s been done since. So grab your passport and let F1 Mavericks serve as your guidebook to a distant and exotic place that, like Atlantis, shone brightly once upon a time and lives on today in the memories of those who were fortunate enough to witness racing’s most glamorous, glorious, and star-studded stage. Welcome to the Maverick Era of Formula One.
PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE
The tsunami of F1 innovation was triggered by a little-noticed seismic event the better part of ten years earlier. The men responsible were two of motor racing’s greatest mavericks, father and son Charles and John Cooper.
WINGS OF CHANGE
As 1968 began, Colin Chapman and Jim Clark were looking for ward to possibly their greatest season yet. The 49 was finally sorted.
SOMETHING FOR NOTHING
The single greatest advance in vehicle performance during the Maverick Era was downforce. It began in earnest with wings (thank you, Mr. Hall) and progressed from there.
Mario (5) was fortunate to escape the first-turn accident that launched defending World Champion James Hunt’s aged McLaren M23 (1) high into the air.
