David Tremayne&;s acclaimed biography of Jochen Rindt was first published in 2010 and now, to honor the 50th anniversary of the Austrian&;s death, Evro is reviving the book in paperback form.
Rindt was widely acknowledged as the fastest man in Formula 1 by the time he reached his peak in 1970, when he tragically lost his life at Monza in Italy, four races before the end of the season. Such was his pre-eminence that year that no rival could overcome his points total and he became the sport&;s only posthumous World Champion. As his close friend Jackie Stewart observed in this book&;s foreword, "David Tremayne is a wonderful writer who has done Jochen great justice in the words that he has chosen to depict a remarkable man and a remarkable career."
David Tremayne has spent his career in motorsport journalism, with such notable roles as executive editor of Motoring News, long-time Grand Prix correspondent for The Independent and The Independent on Sunday, and co-founder of GrandPrix+, the sport's first and fastest e-magazine. He has written over 50 books, including Jim Clark: The Best of the Best (Evro, 2018). He is a three-times winner of the Guild of Motoring Writers' 'Journalist of the Year' award. He lives in County Durham
