At half-a-metre square, weighing 37 kilograms, the 852-page book is the biggest and the heaviest ever on Formula One, considered the world’s most expensive sport.
The Official Formula 1 Opus was released in the presence of cine actor Anil Kapoor here on Friday.
The book features the history of the sport, features exclusive interviews and breath-taking photographs.
