Who proofread this, so many mistakes. Lap by lap updates of practice sessions and qualifying do not make for interesting reading.

This book was a poorly writtten account of a truly epic tale. It offered a lot of insight into the strategy of Formula One racing. Definitely worth the read if you are an auto racing or Formula One fan.
