For the F1 drivers, Bernard Cahier was a photographer, of course. But he was mostly one of their own. Since then, Bernard was not only the privileged witness of the early years of F1. He was the actor. His photos attest to him: real moments of shared intimacy. Then came Paul-Henri. The succession was done softly, naturally, as when a father transmits the witness to his son. Thus, all the drivers of the six decades of F1 marched in front of the objectives of the Notebook Father & Son, of Nino Farina, the first world champion in 1950, to Fernando Alonso. The choice was cruel. 72, legendary pilots were selected, here gathered, whose portraits and destiny tell the story of F1.

Hardback in excellent condition throughout.
