Book Description
It documents the events that took place inside and outside the backstage of each Grand Prix from 1975 to 1980 that affected the team's performance on the tracks. It brings a summary of the best articles, articles, interviews, statements and photos presented in journalistic reports published at the time, showing the reader all the effort and overcoming the setbacks that these fearless brothers went through. This is what made them victorious, whose attitudes we must all aim for. They are winners because they managed to let go of financial interests and easy successes to invest all their energies in the realization of a great dream, an ideal. This is the greatest and best example that they set for all our young people today and tomorrow. The purpose of the sponsorship was to show the world that Brazil was not commanded by chiefs or that the Japanese descended from their liners in rowboats to exchange native products for baffles. That in Brazil there was an industrial park and high-tech development centers, in addition to a brave and fearless people, who are not afraid of adversity. The Fittipaldi brothers showed the world that we, despite the Tupiniquins, can match any enterprise with the same quality and competence as the most developed countries. What we lack is to support our initiatives with respect and patriotism. Demanding victories in such a technologically sophisticated and complex enterprise in the early years, shows that in the field of wisdom and humility we are still underdeveloped.

How To Be An F1 Driver
Author: Jenson Button
Publisher: Kings Road Publishing
ISBN: 1788702638
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
AUTHOR OF SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, LIFE TO THE LIMIT In his 17 years as a Formula 1 driver, Jenson Button has picked up a thing or two about how to do the job properly. Sure, you need to be able to drive a car fast - and Jenson is on hand to pass on a few tricks of the trade here - but you also need to know the real rules for making it to the top. Like, how to tell a multiple F1 champion they need to check their blind-spot. What the difference is between a helmet and a hat, and indeed a 'helmet-hat'. How to practise your champagne spray ahead of the big day. Why it is never, ever, under any circumstances a good idea to buy a yacht. And how to face down your team when you've just stacked their multi-million-pound car into a wall during practice. But 'JB' (nicknames in F1 run the full range from initials to, well, just using first names) doesn't stop there. HTBAF1D (catchy) lifts the lid on the people, the places, the weird rituals, the motorhomes, the media, the cars, the perks and the disasters. Join Jenson as he reveals how not to race a stupid big truck, why driving Le Mans is like having five shots of tequila before lunch, and what to do when you finally hang up your helmet-hat.
