Formula 1 Technical Analysis - 2009/2010 - Giorgio Piola

Formula 1 Technical Analysis: 2012/2013 (UK)
Giorgio Piola / Paperback / December 2013
Also from the USA, Canada, France, Germany

Ferrari, competitive until mid-season, had to be content with Fernando Alonso's second place in the end. On the technical front, the 2012 world championship will be remembered for the large air intakes in the noses of many of the cars, their purpose to recover aerodynamic load; then there were the sophisticated F-Ducts created by Mercedes-Benz and the pull rod front suspension layout designed by Ferrari. In this well-established publication, author, designer and television commentator Giorgio Piola analyses the various development phases of the different teams during the world championship. Brief but exhaustive texts illustrated with hundreds of technical designers in full colour are the main elements of this book, which concludes with a section on the cars that will be the protagonists of the 2013 season.

He will experience the extraordinary sensations, the adrenaline and the atmosphere as told by the sport's best analyst. Together with F1's respected journalist, Maurice Hamilton, Brundle brings his infallible humour and insight, his experiences and opinion, to each of the circuits and its classic races. From the camber at Monaco, which will leave your wheels hanging in the air, to Melbourne and the dynamics behind the most dramatic crash of the decade. Encompassing such essential details as neck-snapping acceleration, smashing cars worth a quarter of a million and the amount of sweat a driver will lose in a race, this is a rare F1 book - funny, opinionated, evocative and dramatic

The book covers: chassis construction - composite materials, how chassis strength influences performance, aerodynamic influences and safety aspects; the engine - the reasons for adopting the V10 layout, the forces involved, the search for ever-higher revs, how fuels and oils contribute to performance; the transmission - basic gearbox principles, gearbox design, electro-hydraulic actuation, the differential, driveshafts; electronics - how this most important factor influences so many areas, including the engine, transmission and telemetry; steering, suspension and brakes; tyres - why different tyres exert so much influence on performance; aerodynamics - basic theory, what individual components do, and how aerodynamic changes are made; and how all the various elements interact, and how F1 cars are tested.

Ferrari Formula 1: Under the Skin of the Championship-Winning F1-2000 - Peter Wright

Ferrari Formula 1: Under the Skin of the Championship-Winning F1-2000 (UK)
Peter G. Wright / Hardcover / Published September 2003
Also from the USA, Canada, France, Germany

Scuderia Ferrari granted former Team Lotus engineer Peter Wright unparalleled access to the team principals and to Michael Schumacher’s 2000 championship–winning car, and the result is the most detailed, specific, and awe-inspiring analysis of a modern F1 car ever published. The principles behind the design of the car and engine are explained, often by the key people who are responsible for performing the work. Detailed descriptions of systems and components are accompanied by technical specifications, assembly drawings, functional details, and performance analysis. 
Lavishly illustrated with Ferrari’s own technical drawings, computer models, and photos, the book also features original cutaway paintings and drawings by Tony Matthews. Candid interviews with Michael Schumacher, Jean Todt, Ross Brawn, Rory Byrne, Paolo Martinelli, and many others reveal the inner workings of the Scuderia as well as the philosophies and approaches each department head uses to lead his group. Brawn, Technical Director, has described the state in which the Ferrari team operates as being similar to a state of war. As you read this book, learning in extensive detail about every aspect of the car and the commitment and effort put forth by the Scuderia, you will develop the very strong impression that Brawn is not exaggerating.
