As with previous years, 2015 was one in which Mercedes-Benz dominated
both the drivers' and constructors- championships. The German
manufacturer confirmed the technical advantage it had derived from the
introduction of the revolutionary power unit, which first appeared in
2014. In place of Red Bull, which fell into disgrace after a media
conflict with engine supplier Renault, it was Ferrari that attempted to
stand up to the Silver Arrows. Side issues were the stories of a
Williams wanting to come back and battle for the title; McLaren with a
new but not very effective Honda engine, which touched the lowest point
in the Japanese manufacturer's long history in F1; and the other leading
teams of a season that ended with the official announcement of Renault's
return, having acquired Lotus. Offering a precise analysis of this
latest F1 championship, especially from the technical point of view,
there is once again Giorgio Piola. A hundred or so all-colour
illustrations document the development of the various cars throughout
the Formula 1 World Championship, and offer - as always - a wealth of
information anticipating the 2016 season.
