Author: Ian Wagstaff, ISBN: 9780857333131, 156 pages, published in 2014

An insight insight into the desigh, engineering, maintenance and operation of Maserati's legendary Formula 1 car.

It could be said that the Maserati 250F was the racing car that defined the 1950s. It was not the quickest car, nor the most successful but, with its classic front-engined looks, it came to personify that era. The 250F took Juan Manual Fangio to two Grands Prix victories in 1954, contributing to his second World Championship. In 1956, the car won two Grands Prix in the hands of Stirling Moss, and the following season took the returning Fangio to his final World Championship, with four wins, including arguably his finest victory, the 1957 NOrburgring race.

This manual sets out the 250F's place in history, and describes in detail, with the aid of numerous photographs, the design and development of the cars, \An lively first-hand accounts from several of the men who drove and ran them, including Sir Stirling Moss, his manager, Ken Gregory, and his mechanic, Tony Robinson. The business of restoring, preparing and running an example for historic racing today is also outlined.

This in-depth study provides a fascinating insight into one of the last front-engined cars to compete in Grands Prix. The Maserati 250F was the final representative of a great era in motor racing, and remains an iconic Formula 1 car.
