This is my complete Formula One book collection. I have got most of these books as gifts.
My friends and family know that I am a Formula One fanatic so it's quite easy to buy me F1 stuff as gifts (unless I already own them of course).
I always get the season reviews on DVD but sometimes it's nice to read about the season from a book. Some books even have extra stuff between the pages. For example the book that is called "The treasures of Formula One" has old cards from different F1 races, ticket replicas from historical races, maps, flyers etc. You can't get that from a DVD!
Some of my books are in finnish because that's my second language. The finnish books are usually extremely patriotic and mainly about finnish drivers. For example the book under Hamilton's biography is a book called "Sinivalkoisia Formula 1 -hetkiä" which means "Blue and white Formula 1 moments". The colors come from the finnish flag of course.
The first finnish driver was Leo Kinnunen in the 70's. He didn't really succeed in F1 but the finns were very proud anyways. Later there was a man named Mikko Kozarowitzky who tried F1 but failed to qualify in 2 races and it was the end of it. Then came Keke Rosberg who became world champion in 1982. After this moment F1 was one of the most popular sports in Finland that was shown on TV.
I went a bit off topic there but I hope you found it interesting. So if you buy a F1 book in Finland it's easier to find reading material about finnish drivers than F1 itself. In my opinion it's a bit strange that some people are more interested about a person than the sport itself. I mean I don't need drivers from my country to drive F1 to enjoy it. I watch it anyways..
If I buy any new books I will post it here and maybe talk a bit about it. A small review if you will.
By the way! If you have something F1 related in finnish you would like me to translate then just ask.
