236 About the Photographer
238 Index
Photographer Pete Biro began shooting motorsports in the 1950s,
contributing to magazines such as Road & Track and Car and Driver.
As his career progressed, his work found greater fame on the pages
of outlets such as Time, LIFE, and Sports Illustrated. He followed
the Can-Am series throughout its 1966 to 1974 glory years, becoming
good friends with its top drivers, team owners, and engineers.
Author George Levy is a longtime automotive journalist and marketer
with a strong focus on motorsports. He is the former editor of
Autoweek magazine and sits on the board of the Motorsports Hall of
Fame of America.
Mario Andretti is auto racing's definition of "Been There, Won
That." His professional driving career spanned more than four
decades and includes pit-stops as a Formula One driver (1978), an
Indy 500 winner (1969), the Daytona 500 (1967), and four CART/USAC
open-wheel racing national championships. Andretti has been called
Mr. Versatile, known for driving everything from USAC sprint cars
on the dirt to IndyCars, sports racing prototypes, and of course
F1. He was Newman Haas Racing's first driver when the team was
formed in 1982, raced there for 12 seasons, and is considered one
of Paul Newman's closest friends.
"...a ride that’s fast, accurate, and entertaining."

"The book’s afterword by the late champion Niki Lauda, which offers
a blistering take on the current state of F1, is alone worth the
price of admission."
*Classic Motorsports*
"F1 MAVERICKS is a book to savor page by page."
*SpeedReaders.info*
"Taking a look at the period from 1960 to 1982, the book gives as
much weight to the brains — Colin Chapman, Gordon Murray, Mauro
Forghieri — as it does the brawn behind the wheel, all while
translating the era’s advances in aerodynamics, engine tech, tires,
and beyond into a language that doesn’t require an MIT degree to
appreciate."
