He writes about the challenges and stresses of designing and developing safe and race-winning cars, of periods of sadness after fatal accidents, and constantly pushing the boundaries of design technology. The wealth of color and black-and-white pictures and drawings are testament to the talent and versatility of this brilliantly successful designer.
