Autocourse: The World's Leading Grand Prix Annual Book

A dramatic season of Grand Prix racing produced another hard-fought battle for the World Championship between German superstar Michael Schumacher and Williams team leader Damon Hill. The benetton driver emerged triumphant, but his gallant British rival had made him fight all the way. Ferrari's Jean Alesi finally scored his maiden F1 win in his fifth season with the charismatic Italian team, while perenial underdog Johnny Herbert and highly regarded Scotsman David Coulthard also tasted victory for the first time. The season saw the Jordan team maintain its progress towards the front of the grid, but the first year of the McLaren-Mercedes alliance produced far less than most had expected.

All the action, controversy and contrasting emotions of the F1 season are captured in the 45th edition of Autocourse, long established as the world's leading Grand Prix annual. Detailed race reports, authoritative commentary and comprehensive statistics are matched with a superb selection of illustrations from the world's leading motor sport photographers to produce an unrivalled record of the motor racing year that no enthusiast should be without.
