Book Review: Crash! From Senna To Earnhardt – How The Hans Helped Save Racing
Motorsport Retro brings us this collection of especially palatable boosted F1 cars from yesteryear. Forced induction seems to be infiltrating every corner of motoring these days, and for the 2014 season, even Formula One is getting in on the act. Although it remains to be seen if this change will bring a new level of intensity to F1 that we’ve been craving, perhaps this collection of turbocharged F1 cars will help us determine the necessary ingredients for boosted success.

In case you weren’t sure whether or not you wanted to make the trek to the theater to see the upcoming Senna documentary, we offer this official trailer to get you properly motivated.
Happy Friday. Today, we bring you this most excellent, touching video tribute to one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers of all time, Ayrton Senna.
