(MyOpinion) 『Generally speaking this is a good book which might be interesting for all those who are linked to technical aspects of a formula-1 car design.Is brings a general overview of Ferrari organisation which allowed them to take several championships and a carefull technical analysis of the 2000 car design aspects, including very rare information regarding to tyres, suspensions, performance, etc. This is a book that has to be in every formula 1 technical fan booklet.』
(Ferrari F1 book review) 『This book is an oustanding publication for the depth of technical information on F1 engines, not available elsewhere to the outsider. It is not a coffee table type of book, all of the pictures and illustrations contribute to the technical depth.』
(This is the One F1 book) 『The is by far the best book on Formula 1 that I've read. The author, Peter G. Wright, is a former engineer from the Lotus F1 team, who developped the fundations of aerodynamics in modern F1 cars. Jean Todt let him access all the secrets of the technology inside the Ferrari F1-2000, and Wright details every aspects of the car. You can see pictures of all key components of the engine, gear box, suspensions, brakes and aerodynamics. And the illustrations of Tony Matthews are truly amazing. Really, this book is a Masterpiece... as well as the F1-2000.
』
(Not a technical book) 『I thought it would be more technical, it spends too many pages praising Ferrari, and maybe it was the necessary publicity to let him do the book. It has some awesome drawings, but the remaining spaces for the pictures are filled with standard shots of the car on the track. The publicity around this book was very big so I was expecting more, more in depth technical data or secrets.』 『In Formula 1 racing, commercial sponsorship and dependency on technology has elevated the stakes to extraordinary heights. Because of this, teams and manufacturers have gone to great lengths to protect their technical secrets.
That's what makes this book so special and unique.
When Scuderia Ferrari gave author Peter Wright access to team principals and to Michael Schumacher's 2000 championship-winning car, he provided a rarely-seen look at the inner workings of a championship vehicle - technical specifications, assembly drawings, functional details, and performance analysis.
Wright, a former Team Lotus engineer, capitalized on this unique opportunity and the result is Ferrari Formula 1: Under the Skin of the Championship-Winning F1-2000. By combining Ferrari's own technical drawings, computer models, and photos with candid interviews with Michael Schumacher, Jean Todt, Ross Brawn, and others, this book provide readers with an unprecedented level of detail and understanding of Formula 1 technology.
Ferrari Formula 1also examines the team - Scuderia Ferrari - and its technical partners. While understanding the design of winning race cars is important, understanding how the people and companies work together is crucial to gaining the winning edge.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Never use help again!) 『I love this book. I should have bought it years ago. Now I will never have to use the help function in Excel to figure out how to do something with a formula, ever again!』
(Top-notch Reference) 『Though not a guru, I use Excel quite alot for business and personal purposes. I went through this book page-by-page, marking with post-its the formulas I'd be using. Though there was some more in-depth text manipulation missing, I will have this book handy whenever I embark on an Excel project.』
(Nice problem-solving reference...) 『If you spend much time in Excel as part of your daily routine, you probably end up running across things you just don't know how to do. Joseph Rubin's latest book F1 Get The Most Out Of Excel Formulas And Functions might be a really good resource to bail you out when necessary...
Contents: Working With Formulas; Text; Date&Time; Lookup; Logical&Errors; Counting; Summing; List; Miscellaneous Calculation&Math; Income Tax&Financial; List of Functions; Index
There are a large number of "how to" items in this volume, formatted with the pattern of "Problem", "Solution", and "Explanation". Usually each of these are accompanied with a graphic that represents the spreadsheet and/or formula solution. The writing is tight and to the point, so there's not pages and pages of explanations on any single problem. It's a quick "get in, get out" type of tip that should point you in the right direction. I even found a solution to a spreadsheet issue I had (that I wasn't even looking to solve!). I have a spreadsheet that tracks my Amazon reviewer stats, and a couple of the columns show error statements for the blank lines because there are references to cells that aren't yet filled in. With one of these tips, I am now able to avoid that problem. Nice!
If you don't know Excel, then this book isn't going to teach it to you. But if you've conquered the basics and now want to do real work, this is a nice volume to keep on hand to help you around the minor roadblocks you'll be sure to encounter...』 『
With more than 300 solutions to the time-consuming problem of combining Microsoft Excel functions into effective, problem-solving formulas, this handbook addresses questions that are regularly posted to Excel newsgroups—topics of the most interest to Excel users. Questions and answers provide a title, problem, solution, explanation, and screenshot, and include many of the complex formulas and their several nested functions. Formulas for wages, shifts, time sheets, income taxes, financial calculations, amortization tables, counting, and handling errors are demonstrated, and the accompanying CD-ROM contains Excel workbook files that incorporate all the formulas presented in the book. Each question and answer includes a hyperlink that allows interested readers to visit the author's website to discuss problemsand proposed solutions.

I expected to find details of the DFV engine, not to concentrate on veriations of racing cars that it was fitted too. In a book of 192 pages, there were only 5 photographs of the engine and only 1 line drawing of a complete engine and, only 1 photograph of some engine components. No information on the manufacturing process, machining or essembling the engine.Too many photographs and details of matter's not directly concerned with the DFV』 『
The Ford Cosworth DFV engine first appeared at the Dutch Grand Prix in 1967, powering the Lotus 49s of Graham Hill and Jim Clark. Hill claimed pole position, and Clark won the race– a remarkable debut for an engine that went on to become the most successful ever in Formula One. The DFV won a remarkable 155 Grands Prix, the last of which was in 1983, 16 years after its debut. Published to coincide with the DFV’s 40th anniversary, this beautifully produced book tells the full story of this remarkable engine’s development and evolution.

The 1970s was a great decade for British racing drivers, but it was also the era in which the nation lost a generation of brilliant young drivers--Roger Williamson, Tony Brise and Tom Pryce--in tragic accidents. All had the potential to be World Champions. With access to their families, friends and race colleagues, David Tremayne tells their full stories for the first time. It makes for poignant but uplifting reading.

Usually ships in 24 hours 『Vlamgat, literally 'flaming hole' in Afrikaans, was the nickname the South African Air Force (SAAF) gave to the Mirage F1, its formidable frontline jet fighter during South Africa's long 'border wars' in South West Africa (Namibia) and Angola from the late 1960s to the late 1980s. Battling Soviet MiG-21s over African skies, the Vlammies, the Mirage pilots as they were affectionately known, acquitted themselves with distinction and honour.
Vlamgat is a gripping account of these pilots and their deeds of bravery; their experiences are authentically related with accuracy, humour and pathos - by the author, himself a Vlammie. As Willem Hechter, former Chief of the SAAF, says: 'Vlamgat deserves a place of pride in the long history of this, the second oldest air force in the world.'』
