At the end of each season, Grand Prix enthusiasts and collectors eagerly anticipate the release of the world's leading Formula 1 yearbook. The 49th installment will be no exception, with complete coverage of every championship round. Dramatic color images from the sport's leading photographers accompany detailed race reports, in-depth analyses, and complete statistics. In addition, there's the much-awaited top-ten driver rankings, and a team-by-team guide and topical features that provide insight to the various aspects of the 1999 season. Additional color coverage of the American racing scene, Le Mans, Formula 3, Formula 3000 and Super Tourers make this an indispensable reference.
This authoritative annual on Grand Prix racing is in its 47th year of publication. The 1997-98 volume includes a foreword by the 1997 title winner Jacques Villeneuve, the first driver to win the championship after just two full seasons of Grand Prix racing. As usual, this large, attractive volume is packed with color photos, statistics, bios, commentary from the experts, and analyses of the year's races.

Because it has a 57 year history (as of 2008 ) it has become a collectors item that ranks it a must have for any F-1 aficionado. The photographs are the years best from all of the who's who of F-1 photographers. Paul Henri Cahier, Darren Heath, Patrick Gosling, and Bryn Williams all are represented here in stunning fashion.
The reviews of the races and the stories that made the year in F-1 what is was are condensed brilliantly... more info
For Anglophiles only:
The blatant pro-McLaren, anti-Alonso bias of this book is unfortunate, and stands out all the more with what has happened since the book went to press. For example, the book states, as purported fact, that Ron Dennis and McLaren management were entirely innocent in the Stepneygate affair, and were unfairly dragged into the matter through no fault of their own by the actions of a single bad apple. The rules of objective reporting exist for a reason, and this book's editors would look a lot less... more info
