Produktbeschreibung
From Phil Hill's historic 1961 World Championship triumph to the Netflix-fuelled fan boom of the 2020s, Stars, Stripes, and Chequered Flags charts the complete story of America's relationship with Formula 1. In a sport historically dominated by European teams and drivers, the United States has produced moments of triumph, long droughts, audacious engineering projects, and modern revivals. This definitive chronicle follows the rise and fall of U.S.-born champions like Hill and Andretti, the bold ambitions of constructors from Scarab to Haas, and the ever-evolving presence of the United States Grand Prix-from Watkins Glen's golden era to Las Vegas's glittering return. It examines cultural divides, corporate sponsorships, the broadcast battles that shaped perception, and the modern expansion under Liberty Media's American ownership. With unparalleled detail, it tells the intertwined story of drivers, teams, circuits, and fans. The book explores how American engineering talent has quietly influenced the F1 paddock, how IndyCar and F1 have cross-pollinated for decades, and how the U.S. has become one of Formula 1's fastest-growing markets. Closing with the dawn of Cadillac's forthcoming F1 entry, this is the definitive narrative of a nation's pursuit of global motorsport glory.
