This is the story of Formula One told through its greatest circuits - past and present, lost and legendary.

"Formula One The Circuits: Then and Now" reveals the evolution of the sport by placing historic photography side by side with contemporary images of the same scenes, capturing decades of change in one thrilling volume.

Featuring more than 350 photographs and expert commentary from former F1 journalist Frank Hopkinson, this is an essential book for fans who want to understand the history behind the sport they love.
