About the Authors
Jonathan Noble
is Grand Prix Editor of
Autosport
, Britain’s leading motorsport
weekly. His motor racing journalism career began during university when he
won the prestigious Sir Williams Lyons Award for young journalists – after
interviewing a then relatively unknown David Coulthard. After graduating from
Sussex University he joined news agency Collings Sport, helping cover Formula
One, football and rugby for a host of newspapers and agencies, including
The
Daily Telegraph
,
Reuters
and
The European.
He then moved to
Autosport
Special
Projects in 1999, with one of his tasks being to edit the company’s excellent
Grand Prix Review
. In 2000 he took on his current position and has not missed
a race since. This is his first book.
Mark Hughes
used to race cars before he began writing about them. His jour-
nalistic career began at British motorsport weekly
Motoring News
in 1988,
where he would stay for the next five years, moving from club race reporting
up to Formula One. After a spell in road car journalism, he went freelance in
1996 and was later contracted by
Autosport
– one of the leading motorsport
titles in the world – to be its Formula One Editor at Large. In this role he trav-
els to all races and writes the Grand Prix reports for the magazine.
Authors’ Acknowledgments
From Jonathan:
I would like to thank everyone at Wiley Publishing, especially
Jason Dunne, Daniel Mersey and Samantha Clapp, for the opportunity to write
my first book – as well as their help, encouragement, feedback and tireless
work to make this all happen.
Thanks also to Mark Hughes, for your assistance in putting this book together
as well as the numerous shoulder-jerking giggling fits that we have enjoyed at
Formula One races around the world for the past few years.
I cannot forget my parents without whose support many years ago I would
never have achieved my dream job. I think it is fair to say now that those end-
less trips to a cold and rainy Silverstone just to watch some cars going around
in circles, while I watched mesmerised, were well worth it.
Finally, and above all else, to Sarah for your endless patience and under-
standing while I filled up our lounge with books, magazines, CDs, faxes, and
pamphlets as I wrote this book. You were, and are, wonderful.
From Mark:
A special thank you to Heather, Joseph, and Mia for sparing me
even within the precious time at home between races, enabling me to write
this book.
