Hamilton Rosberg: The Return of the Silver Arrows.: The Story of the 2014 Formula 1 World Championship: Volume 1 (Formula One's Greatest Rivalries) - Tapa blanda

2014 gave us one of the greatest inter-team Formula 1 rivalries since Senna and Prost at McLaren in 1988 and 1989 and arguably the best ever. The Mercedes' Silver Arrows went at it hammer and tongs from the moment the lights went out in Melbourne when it became clear that they were the class of the field, all the way to the wire in the day-night race in Abu Dhabi and its controversial double points. The weight of history was on their shoulders as they aimed for the first World Championship for the Mercedes team since Juan Manuel Fangio in 1955 and their first ever Constructor's Championship, as that Championship didn't start until 1958. Mercedes had earlier withdrawn as constructors from all motorsport after the tragedy of the 1955 Le Mans crash when 80 spectators had been killed. The Return of the Silver Arrows is a story of twists and turns, in the rollercoaster ride that the 2014 World Championship season became. It is a story of two childhood friends who became bitter rivals with their ultimate goal overriding the friendship they had. It is a story of tragedy and redemption as the dominant Mercedes' team tried to control the emotions of their driven drivers. It is a story of Formula 1 with all its glamour, wealth, danger and the amazing location backdrops of the races that traverse the globe. Ultimately, however, it is a story of passion, determination and sheer race craft. A story that captured the imagination of the sporting world in one of the most exciting seasons the sport has ever produced. Packed with information - including statistics, lap times, Circuit maps, drivers' quotes, off-track news and Championship tables including Qualifying and Race reports, The Return of the Silver Arrows is an invaluable guide to the 2014 Formula 1 Season.
