Klassiek & Techniek
Exhaustive and absorbing … As well as being a fitting memorial to its late author, it is a highly readable and indispensible work of reference.
Speedscene
LIMITED-edition Grand Prix Ferrari has the most in-depth detail we’ve seen of any book on the brand’s involvement in Formula One from 1948 to 1980 … second to none.
Auto Express
Pritchard sadly passed away shortly after delivering the material to the publisher so, considering his position as a lifelong authority on Ferrari and Maserati, this limited-numbers book (no more than 1,500 will be produced) will be seen as the ultimate parting gift by many thankful tifosi.
Classic driver (uk)
A real treat to find in these days of budget publishing. This is a book produced with quality, readability and care and is essential reading for anyone remotely interested in the history of Ferrari F1 racing during “il Commendatore’s” time … It is certain to be regarded as an important contribution to the history of Ferrari and with a limited edition of 1,500 copies is likely to be in demand by collectors and historians alike … an enthralling narrative.
