Most evocative F1 piece of written work

Post

Hi all, I thoroughly enjoyed the responses to my last thread, so I am trying my luck again (!) Apologies if this has been covered before but I would be interested to hear other opinions: which piece of motorsport/F1 prose has left a lasting impression on you? Can include quotes, the Andretti one about "not going fast enough" always makes me stop and think....there must be a lot of others. Thanks!

Alain Prost has made some good recounting of his personal and professional rivalry with Ayrton Senna and offers empathy and a humane insight into the flaws and the brilliance that drove Ayrton. Hunt and Laudas rivalry and their personal recounts of 1976 also make the list.

When two headstrong drivers have a fierce rivalry and find the intellect to form a friendship above it all always makes for a good story.
