AUTOCOURSE sustains its reputation for providing its readers with the most comprehensive and insightful analysis
of this complex and intriguing sport, both on and off the circuit.
For over sixty years, it has covered the Formula 1 Grand Prix World Championship with complete round by round
coverage. Editor Simon Arron travels to every one of the twenty rounds to give first-hand coverage of the
championship in his unique and witty style. The vastly experienced Alan Henry adds an insightful commentary to
each race focusing on the hot topic of debate that inevitably surfaces around each race.

throughout the year and ranks their efforts on the basis of their performances taking into account the machinery at
their disposal throughout the 2012 season.

reveals the reasons for the successes and failures of each of the twelve Grand Prix teams as they battled for
supremacy.
Special features for the 2012 season will include a celebration of Williams Grand Prix Engineering, marking their 35
years as a manufacturer that has included seven world driver championships.
