Marshal should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridMarshal should be qualifying in the top 5 on the grid
Just about all the good stuff I've read is here, Just a couple of additions "The Chequered Year" is a fantastic evocation of the 1970 GP season, and "Alf Francis, Racing Mechanic" reminds you just how different times were 50 years ago. The best book not mentioned (or I haven't noticed mentioned) is Rosemeyer, by Chris Nixon and Elly Rosemeyer - a startlingly moving story about two incredible people.

Will add persoanl agreement on recomending all of the BS Levy "Last Open Road" Trilogy (the best racing fiction I've read - but then that's not hard!), Donaldson's Villeneuve biography, and "Mon Ami Mate" by Chris Nixon.
