I recently became a fan and I want to learn more about the history of the sport, its most famous rivalries, car engineering, biographies of famous drivers, and so on. So, to make the learning experience even more fun, I thought about looking for books on these topics, since I love reading. Thank you in advance to everyone who leaves a suggestion.

“Burning Rubber: The Extraordinary Story of Formula One” by Charles Jennings if you want to read about the history of F1
Jensen Button’s How To Be An F1 Driver: My Guide To Life In The Fast Lane
How to build a car by Adrian Newey is probably the most well-known and well written books about F1. Adrian Newey is arguably the greatest motorsport engineer of all time.
The biography of Murray Walker is amazing for this.
*The Limit: Life and Death on the 1961 Grand Prix Circuit* by Michael Cannell
*Faster: How a Jewish Driver, an American Heiress, and a Legendary Car Beat Hitler’s Best* by Neal Bascomb
And while it’s not F1, I also recommend *Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans* by A. J. Baime.
