**NOW UPDATED THROUGH 2018**

When a Formula One driver is the first to retire, does it leave a statistic? Yes it does! From Brock Beard, the writer behind LASTCAR, comes a brand-new book of overlooked Grand Prix statistics. Included are complete rankings by driver, country, chassis, and engine, as well as an annotated race-by-race list of every Formula One last-place finisher from 1950 through 2018!

The result is a Formula One book like none other - it’s not simply about Schumacher, Senna, Piquet, and Vettel, but also Etancelin, Mazzacane, Schuppan, and Thackwell!
