With the race-count climbing to an astonishing 1,125 at the end of 2024. Formula 1's 75th season provides the perfect opportunity to bring the story right up to date.
Speed, glamour, and intrigue …

Its blend of glamour, worldwide reach, and the intrigue of power politics makes it a seductive concoction for fans around the globe. In this latest book in the Formula 1 All the races series, Roger Smith explores 'The Liberty Years', perhaps the most transformative period for Formula 1 technically, commercially, and philosophically: is it sport or entertainment?
In late 2016, Liberty Media Corporation, a prominent American owned company with a business focus in media, communications and entertainment, bid to acquire the commercial rights for Formula 1. It marked the beginning of a new era and is the most far-reaching expression of US involvement and influence on the sport to date, but by no means the first.
The architects behind 'Liberty Media's Makeover. From left to right, John Malone, Chairman, Liberty Media, Greg Maffei, President and CEO, Liberty Media, and Chase Carey, Chairman, Formula One.
