Description: This instalment in Evro's decade - by - decade series covering all Formula 1 cars and teams is devoted to a period when some normality seemed to return after the ground - effect and turbo excesses of the 1980s except for one terrible weekend in the spring of 1994. The tragic deaths of Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna led to immense change with new emphasis on safety including measures to slow down the cars and improve their structural strength and numerous changes to circuits. In many ways Formula 1 became more as we recognise it today especially as the decade's dominant teams Mc Laren and Williams remain familiar. Year - by - year treatment explores each season in fascinating depth running through the teams and their various cars in order of importance. Mc Laren: success for this team bookended the decade delivering back - to - back titles for both Ayrton Senna (1990 91 with Honda engines) and Mika H kkinen (1998 99 with Mercedes engines). Williams: as with Mc Laren Renault - powered Williams cars brought four World Championship driver titles for Nigel Mansell (1992) Alain Prost (1993) Damon Hill (1996) and Jacques Villeneuve (1997). Benetton: mid - decade this British - based team won two titles for a sensational new talent Michael Schumacher powered by Ford in 1994 and by Renault in 1995. Ferrari: the longest - established marque a participant in the World Championship ever since its inception in 1950, concluded a lean decade on an upbeat and prescient note by becoming 1999 Constructors Champions with six Grand Prix wins that year. Other winning marques were few and far between just Ligier (1996) Jordan (1998 99) and Stewart (1999). Besides the winning cars there is always much fascination for fans in unsuccessful and obscure efforts such as Andrea Moda and Venturi. This authoritative and comprehensively illustrated book which contains 475 color photos from the incredible archives of US - owned Motorsport Images shows every type of car that raced or attempted to qualify for a race presenting a comprehensive survey.
