This fascinating biography follows Fred Opert's whirlwind lifestyle, talent-spotting successes, and the trials and tribulations of managing the ATS F1 team. Detailing the drivers who came up through the ranks with Opert, the book features interviews with many of those who worked with him. It has been written with the co-operation of Opert's family, friends and ex-employees. Forewords by Nico Rosberg, Alan Jones MBE and Keke Rosberg.
