List of Valentino Rossi books and documentaries:

inspired by @pgaslys list of marc’s docs

📚 Books

What If I Had Never Tried It [English/Italian/Spanish/German/Japanese/Chinese, etc.]: Vale’s only autobiography to date, translated into a lot of languages (so many that it’s hard to keep count). The English edition is notoriously rough - think spelling mistakes and some lost-in-translation moments. Despite this, yellow fans absolutely shouldn’t miss out on this gem. Published in 2006, during Vale’s zenith with five consecutive championships under his belt, the book radiates his happiness and confidence. The narrative is casual, with chapters loosely connected, but you will still find pleasure in reading this book.

MotoGenius: the Valentino Rossi biography by Mat Oxley: Oxley remains my all-time favorite Rossi author! Initially published years ago, the latest edition is available on Kindle. It’s a treasure trove of Vale anecdotes and Oxley’s unique insights, offering a glimpse into how Vale captivated his generation.

The Valentino Rossi Files: Everything I’ve ever written about VR by Mat Oxley: Available on Kindle, this collection (in two parts) encapsulates all the articles Oxley wrote about Vale for magazines and newspapers before joining Motor Sport Magazine.

Valentino Rossi: The Definitive Biography by Stuart Barker: A comprehensive biography of Vale, chronologically organized.

Valentino Rossi: Il Dio del Motociclismo by Fabio Fagnani [Italian]: Not recommended as the author’s fan-like admiration making it read more like a love letter than a biography. The only saving grace is the interview with Aldo Drudi.

Valentino Rossi: All His Races by Mat Oxley [English/German/Japanese/Serbian]: Chronicles every race of Vale’s career, enriched with exclusive interviews.

🎥 Documentaries

When asked about a movie about himself, Vale said, “If it’s a bad movie, I’d rather it didn’t exist.” He holds a similarly cautious stance towards documentaries, and has never personally produced a documentary about himself, though perhaps that might change at some point in the future.

Faster (2003) : Premiered at the Festival de Cannes during MotoGP’s golden era, this documentary intriguingly portrays the rivalry between Vale and Max Biaggi.

The Doctor, the Tornado, and the Kentucky Kid (2006) : Focuses on the 2005 season, especially the US Grand Prix, you can see the beautiful yellow livery of Yamaha’s 50th anniversary.

Fastest (2011) : A sequel to Faster.

Hitting the Apex (2015) : Arguably the best MotoGP documentary out there. Vale and Marco riding into the sunset to ‘Wish you were here’ is a poignant moment.

Valentino Rossi: The Doctor (2016) : Produced by Monster Energy, primarily illustrating how Vale expanded his empire step by step.

Racing Together (2017): MotoGP history isn’t complete without its greatest icon, Vale features for about 15 minutes.

Valentino’s Secret Room: Inside the Doctor’s Hidden Archive (2020) : Produced by Dainese, revealing Vale’s personal collection.

Ruta 46 – Ruta 93: El camino de dos mitos (2021) : Produced by DAZN España, unfortunately I haven’t seen it yet – if you have, let me know how it tells the tale.

Tales of Valentino (2021) : A nine-episode documentary series produced by Dorna, showcasing different aspects of Vale’s career through nine significant races.

RiVale | Valentino Rossi as Told by His Rivals (2021) : Produced by DAZN Italia featuring Vale’s main rivals (except Marc), sharing their stories with him.

Rossi | BT Sport Documentary on the Career of MotoGP Icon, Valentino Rossi (2022) : Produced by BT Sport following Vale’s retirement, highlighted by Suzi Perry’s captivating hosting style.

MotoGP Unlimited (2022) : No need for a lengthy introduction – it’s probably already been watched by everyone by now.

Suzuka in April Feels Wrong

So, this weekend F1 will race at Suzuka. Suzuka is an amazing circuit, the esses at the beginning of the lap, trying to take Degner 1 as fast as possible but knowing the gravel trap is right there at the edge of the circuit, and then hard on the brakes for Degner 2, under the bridge, and up and to the right into the hairpin where Kamui Kobayashi seemed to overtake just about everyone in 2012. Spoon curve, the infamous 130R, and the Casio triangle at the end of the lap, Suzuka really is something special.

The only problem is, Raikkonen's 2005 charge (admittedly I was too young to properly enjoy that but it's literally the back to front challenge meme in real life), Kamui's 2012 podium as a Japanese driver, even Vettel's heartbreaking sparkplug failure in 2017, not to mention the historic Prost and Senna collisions...all of those happened at the end of the season, or close enough to it anyway. This year, Suzuka is in April, the fourth round of the 2024 Formula One season.

Now of course, there's a reason for this - the geography of an increasingly bloated F1 calendar - but first, let's just establish why the Japanese Grand Prix being at the end of the season is so important.

The first Japanese Grand Prix, held in 1976 and 1977, marked the first time a world championship race was held in Asia, and it was the finale too, the place where the championship would be decided. The 1976 race in particular, covered in the excellent 2013 movie Rush, saw Niki Lauda pull into the pits in dangerously wet conditions - this was the same year as his Nürburgring crash - which allowed James Hunt to charge up the field and seal his only world title.

The first Fuji trip would only last two years, but in 1987, F1 would find its home in Suzuka. It was the penultimate race - Adelaide, Australia was now the finale - but nevertheless, Suzuka was still the place where titles were decided. In 1988, Senna came from behind in the wet to beat Prost, in 1989 Prost would close the door on a charging Senna in the Casio triangle on lap 47, taking Prost out. Senna cut the chicane rejoining the track, got disqualified, and handed the title to Prost. In 1990, Prost now in a Ferrari, got a better start than Senna's polesitting McLaren, but Senna's wouldn't give an inch, and they didn't even make it past the first corner this time. Senna would seal the 1990 title. And it continued, Senna over Mansell in 1991, Hill over Villeneuve in 1996, Hakkinen over Schumacher in 1998...it was the track where history was made.

That being said, it's position in the calendar started to change as F1 expanded its Asia-Pacific presence from just Suzuka. From 1987-1995, it was paired with the Australian Grand Prix at Adelaide, in 1999 and 2000, it was paired with Malaysia, and from 2004-2008, it was paired with China. After that, the calendar more or less formed two flyaway blocks, with Australia-Malaysia-China-Bahrain at the beginning of the season, and a Singapore and Suzuka towards the end, paired with an everchanging host of flyaway races that included Abu Dhabi, Brazil, South Korea, and India. In 2009, Suzuka was the third to last race, come 2011, it was fifth to last.

The real blow to Suzuka as an end of season race, however, was the emergence of an American block of races late in the season. It started with Austin in 2012, and by 2015, we had Austin and Mexico back-to-back followed by Brazil, making for three western hemisphere races in a row. Las Vegas in 2023 made a fourth, with Abu Dhabi having long ago bought the season finale slot. All of this means that, in 2023, there were a whole two months of racing after Suzuka.

Thus, figuring that history is dead, F1 has decided to move Suzuka to April, so that, much like 2004-2008, it's back-to-back with the Chinese Grand Prix. Which means F1 will now have Baku and Singapore as a doubleheader in 2024...yeah.

For something meant to cut down on F1's travel related CO2 emissions, they really did just decide to make the entire circus fly over the entirety of the Asian continent in a week. Good job.

What the race does succeed in, however, is reminding us of the last time F1 raced in Japan in April, the 1994 and 1995 Pacific Grand Prix. A rare moment of two races in the same country for F1, when in addition to the end of season trip to Suzuka, there was an early season trip to the T1 Circuit in Okayama. It's a pretty neat track, I've raced it on Ride 4, probably better for bikes than cars though.

So yeah, not much for the environment, but it does remind us of an obscure race nobody has ever heard of, so there is that.

The Legacy of Michael Schumacher in Formula One

When a young German driver made his Formula One debut at the Belgium Grand Prix in 1991 as a replacement driver for the Irish Jordan-Ford team, little did the paddock around him know the lasting impact that he would have on the sport. When he made his debut in the sport which he would eventually become synonymous with, Michael Schumacher was a relatively unknown driver but he made himself known quickly by qualifying seventh, already matching the team's second highest qualifying performance of the season. Schumacher was then quickly signed by Benetton for the rest of the 1991 season and he would win his first and second drivers' titles consecutively in 1994 and 1995 with the team, before moving to a struggling Ferrari team and returning them to the glory days they had dreamed of since the '70's, when he achieved the momentous five in a row and become the first seven time world champion.

Thirty years on from Schumacher's debut, Max Verstappen has become the first World Champion not to have raced against the great German driver since Niki Lauda.

Lauda, won his third and final World Championship in 1984 and retired from racing in F1 in 1985, was followed by Alan Prost (who won the championship in 1985, 1986 & 1989, and then again in 1993), Nelson Piquet (who won his third and final title in 1987), Aryton Senna (the legendary Brazilian won his three world titles in 1988, 1990 & 1991, respectively), Nigel Mansell (who won his world title in 1992), Damon Hill (who clenched the title in 1996), Jacques Villeneuve (the World Champion of 1997), Mika Häkkinen (who won his two world titles in 1998 & 1999), Fernando Alonso (who claimed the title in 2005 & 2006, respectively), Kimi Räikkönen (who, in 2007, became the first - and so far the only - Ferrari driver since Michael himself to claim the title), Lewis Hamilton (the only other driver to achieve seven world titles, winning in 2008, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019 & 2020, respectively), Jensen Button (who achieved the title in 2009), Sebastian Vettel (who became the youngest World Champion when he first won in 2010, he therefore is also the youngest driver to achieve four world championships in row as he also won the title again in 2011, 2012 & 2013, respectively) & Nico Rosberg (who achieved his championship in 2016) who all raced against Michael Schumacher at least once during his years in F1 (between 1991 & 2006 and then from 2010 to 2012).

Max's win makes him the first Dutch driver to get his hands on the trophy but the Dutchman's wins is reflective of something more. We are at the dawn of a new era in Formula One. A new generation of drivers are coming to the forefront of the sport, drivers like Alex Albon (who's rejoining the grid with Williams after a year's absence), Pierre Gasly (Alpha Tauri), Charles Leclerc (Ferrari), Lando Norris (Maclaren), Esteban Ocon (Alpine), George Russell (who's moving from Williams to Mercedes in the new year), Yuki Tsunoda (Alpha Tauri) & Guanyu Zhou (who is making his Formula One debut at Alfa Romeo in the new year and is also the first Chinese driver in Formula One's history). Majority of these drivers grew up competing with each other in karting, formula 3, formula 2, etc, and most importantly were all inspired by the legendary German driver.

It's mad to think that 37 years worth of champions all raced with Michael but it's also mad to think the first driver not to have raced against Michael in Formula One has photos like these with the - arguably - greatest formula 1 driver of all time:

There's interviews with Michael & Max's father from the early 2000's where they talk about their kids & if they could see them in f1 (in one such interview, Michael jokes that they have never had any sort of argument in their friendship but this could be the first if "our two" would be racing each other & Jos remarked that they're similar ages (Max is only 2 years older than Mick) so they would probably compete against each other if they decide to go into racing as they grow up, which they've both have now. It's fitting perhaps, that this year, the year Max has become World Champion, Mick is on the grid beside him. In the same interview, Michael added laughing that he thinks horse riding is a much better sport for their kids, which his oldest child Gina does now almost 20 years later.

Some may claim this is the passing of the torch, but I will always argue that Michael already passed the torch in his final race, to his friend and fellow German driver Sebastian Vettel. While Vettel had already clenched the decisive grid position to guarantee he'd have the points to become a world champion once again, Schumacher allowed Vettel to overtake him without any defense and simply waved him through, essentially changing the guard, passing the torch from era of drivers to the next. While Sebastian's story is still being written to this day, Michael's time in F1 drew to a close as he watched the kingdom lights shine on his friend, who he had known as a child, become not only a four time world champion but the youngest four time champion in history. Drivers like Prost, Piquet, Mansell and the legendary Senna, are all connected to Sebastian - and thus the rest of his era and those who followed them into the sport - by Michael. The torch still burns bright.

This is, however, a poignant moment to reflect. Michael remains the only driver to achieve five championships in a row (Juan Manuel Fangio being the only other driver to achieve five world championships, outside of the two seven time world champions; Hamilton & Schumacher), a record he retains for the foreseeable future. He also still holds the record of most fastest laps (77) and still shares the record of seven World titles with Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton, Vettel and Alonso are all signed for at least another year in Formula One and can/will contend for future world titles but the door has been opened for the younger drivers to breakthrough. Today belongs to Max, those young drivers and the legacy of one German driver who debuted thirty years ago.

Said German driver's greatest legacy is still being written. His son has been unanimously praised during his rookie season in the sport, his hard work and dedication reminiscent of his father's. Little did he know when he was giving that interview that his son would follow in his footsteps or that his friend's son would be the first world champion in 37 years not to have raced against him but perhaps it was clear to him even then that his greatest legacy would be firmly written by his son and daughter.

The History of the Mercedes F1 Team

I was inspired by the videos Sky showed during testing of the histories of Aston Martin and Alpine during testing so I thought I would do Mercedes, as this team has one of the weirder histories in F1, bear in mind I have just used the results from the train from Tyrell down to the present-day Mercedes team - so the two championships the original Mercedes team have aren’t included

Constructors Championships: 9 

(1971, 2009, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020)

Drivers Championships: 11 

(1969, 1971, 1973, 2009,  2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020) Jackie Stewart (3), Jenson Button (1), Lewis Hamilton (7), Nico Rosberg (1)

 Race victories: 148

Pole positions: 147

Fastest laps: 109

Tyrell Racing (1968 - 1998)

First entry: 1968 South African Grand Prix Races entered: 465 entries (463 starts) Constructors Championships: 1 (1971) Drivers Championships: 3 (1969, 1971, 1973) - Jackie Stewart Race victories: 33 Pole positions: 19 Fastest laps: 27 Final entry: 1998 Japanese Grand Prix

Eventually, in 1998 and in the face of dwindling form and ill health, Ken Tyrell sold his team to British American Tobacco, the team becoming British American Racing.

British American Racing and BAR Lucky Strike Honda (1999 - 2005)

First entry: 1999 Australian Grand Prix Races entered: 118 (117 starts) Engines: Supertec, Honda Constructors Championships: 0 (best finish; 2nd 2004) Drivers Championships: 0 Race victories: 0 Podiums:15 Points: 227 Pole positions: 2 Fastest laps: 0 Final entry: 2005 Chinese Grand Prix

At the end of 2005, Honda obtained 100% ownership of BAR from British American Tobacco, completing their ambition to become a full F1 manufacturer team. In addition, Jenson Button's Williams contract was bought out for US$30 million, and Button signed a multi-year contract with Honda.

Honda Racing F1 Team (2006 - 2008)

First entry: 2006 Bahrain Grand Prix Races entered: 43 Engines: Honda Constructors Championships: 0 Drivers Championships: 0 Race victories: 1 Podiums: 4 Points: 106 Pole positions: 1 Fastest laps: 0 Final entry: 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix

Honda suddenly exited the sport at the end of the 2008 season, unwilling to continue the Brackley-based team's $300 million budget and staff of 700 during the global economic crisis.

The team continued to work on the Honda RA109 for the 2009 season while Honda attempted to sell the racing team.

Ross Brawn bought the team for £1 in order to keep the team in the sport   

Brawn GP Formula One Team (2009)

First entry: 2009 Australian Grand Prix Races entered: 17 Engines: Mercedes Constructors Championships: 1 (2009) Drivers Championships: 1 (2009) - Jenson Button Race victories: 8 Podiums: 15 Points: 172 Pole positions: 5 Fastest laps: 4 Final entry: 2009 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

On 16 November 2009 it was officially announced that Daimler AG in partnership with Aabar Investments had purchased a 75.1% stake in Brawn GP (Daimler AG: 45.1%; Aabar: 30%).

It was rumoured that the partnership paid £110m for the 75.1%. The team would be rebranded as Mercedes GP for 2010. The remaining 24.9% stake is Ross Brawn's in partnership with Nick Fry. The team used the Brawn GP base in Brackley for its operations and Brawn stayed on as team principal until the end of the 2013 season.

 Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 Team (2010 - Present)

First entry: 2010 Bahrain Grand Prix Last entry: 2020 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Races entered: 227 Engines: Mercedes Constructors Championships: 7 (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020) Drivers Championships: 7 (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020) - Lewis Hamilton (6) Nico Rosberg (1) Race victories: 106 Podiums: 219 Points: 5685 Pole positions: 120 Fastest laps: 78

Reasons to Watch F1

So you want to get into F1, but need some convincing, eh? What, you don’t give a shit about motorsport whatsoever, and there’s no way I can change your mind? Well let me change your mind, and tell you why you should watch the sport that pretends to be the pinnacle of motorsport.

Puns

No, I’m not talking about overused “Haas” pun. “Oh, it Haas to be great”. Yeah, you’re funny, using the same pun that millions of people have made hundreds of times before! What about the other teams and drivers, many of whom have punny names, that get overlooked? Renault: I have Renault idea how to make that one work, but it Magnussense to give up. Lotus hope I can figure it out, before pushing the Button, allowing Dan yell Ricciardo to go Max Gas all race, proving he’s a Force India to be reckoned with... I could go on, but I think I’ve made my Racing Point.

Raikkonen

Bwoah, need I say anymore? Drives for Alfbwoah Bwoahmeo (RIP Sauber 1993-2018), and has scored 100% of their points so far in 2019. You’ll forget he has a teammate.

Ferrari are the quickest team

No, genuinely. Watch them dominate the weeken- what do you mean Mercedes have got 1-2 again?! I don’t buy that. It’s just the sort of real news that throws the sport into disrepute.

Valtteri It’s James Meme

Although team orders are absolutely disgusting, Valtteri being forced to let Lewis through in Russia 2018 led to a new meme, and one we must cherish. An example of the meme can be found by clicking on this very sentence. Unavailable on YouTube due to copyright strike by Sky Sports.

Beyond the Grid

Good interviews with important figures in the sport. They’ve had Jacques Villeneuve on, but not Stirling Moss, though, so quality is questionable. Muting volume when Tom Clarkson speaks recommended.

Lando Norris

Despite most drivers taking part in Formula 1′s 1000th race in China, Lando confirmed in a tweet that he had unlocked the secrets to time travel, already taking part in the sport’s 5000th race, 4000 races (or roughly 200 years) in the future. The car he used in F1′s 5000th race looked remarkably similar to a 2019 McLaren, however. Clearly the future people have decided that current designs are superior to any other (for some reason), and have adopted these as their preferred exterior car appearance.

Azerbaijan

With the exclusion of the 2005 US Grand Prix, the 2019 Azerbaijan Grand Prix will now be recognized as the official 1000th F1 race (nothing to do with the Chinese borefest of last week). With Azerbaijan often offering brilliant races,  (unlike a certain Monaco circuit), and either Stroll or Perez getting a podium in all 3 races thus far, what better time to watch F1 than now? Might be the only race all season that a midfield team gets on the podium.

Drive to Survive

The recent documentary about F1, in which the two quickest teams (Mercedes & Ferrari) are absent. Worth watching, if only to see the interactions between Red Bull team principal Christian Horner and Renault managing director Cyril Abiteboul in episode 4. The awkwardness is like watching an episode of The Office (UK version). More of these.

Toro Rosso

Yes, that’s correct. Red Bull got around the owning two teams business by naming their slower team Red Bull, but in Italian. So... Red Bull and (imagine this in an Italian accent) Red Bull. Or, according to their Wikipedia page, “Red Bull Red Bull Honda”. And you thought “Racing Point” was an uncreative name!

Bernd Maylander

With the F1 field having finished behind the safety car 8 times, 7 times behind himself, Bernd Maylander has the unfortunate record of “Most 1st place finishes without winning a race”. Hopefully this bad luck will change for the safety car driver soon.

Murray Walker

He may not commentate on F1 anymore, but watching F1 races from 1948-2001 is well worth it, if only to hear his commentary. 1979-1993 recommended, due to James Hunt commentating with him. Highlights include the race where David pulled across in front of Coulthard, and “1 light, 2 lights, 3 lights, 4 lights, 5 laps.”

Max Verstappen claims Canadian F1 GP pole as Pérez and Leclerc trail

Max Verstappen took pole for the Canadian Grand Prix, delivering another dominant run in difficult, changeable conditions for Red Bull. With rain very much playing its part he beat the Haas of Nico Hülkenberg into second and the Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso into third. Lewis Hamilton and George Russell were in fourth and fifth for Mercedes. Alpine’s Esteban Ocon was sixth and McLaren’s Lando Norris in seventh. Verstappen once more had the best pace in a qualifying session that had opened shortly after rain had hit the circuit and then returned again as the session progressed. Whether he might have been challenged remains moot as the final running was scuppered by the conditions but on every lap he put in, the world champion still looked to enjoy a comfortable advantage over the rest of the field. He goes into the race as strong favourite to score another win for Red Bull, who remain unbeaten from seven meetings this season. If the team secure victory it will be their 100th since the team entered its debut race in 2005, having taken their first at the Chinese GP in 2009. There is a further milestone on offer for the 25-year-old who should he secure his 41st victory will match Ayrton Senna’s wins. This weekend Hamilton conceded that his record tally of 103 wins, once thought to be untouchable, was potentially reachable by Verstappen. With the rain still peppering the circuit and growing in intensity, the final session was defined by the earliest laps in Q3. Verstappen, out first, set the benchmark on his second lap with a time of 1minute 25.858 seconds only shortly after which running was stopped when Oscar Piastri put his McLaren in the wall, a decisive moment that ended the fight for pole. When they resumed qualifying the rain had only intensified, leaving no chance to improve on the times. Hülkenberg had already been out in a good run, second to Verstappen and it paid off, securing his second best grid position and Haas’s first front row start in a GP. Carlos Sainz was eighth for Ferrari but is under investigation for impeding, Piastri was ninth and Alex Albon in tenth for Williams. skip past newsletter promotion after newsletter promotion Quick Guide How do I sign up for sport breaking news alerts?

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Red Bull’s Sergio Pérez were caught out on the wrong tyres in Q2, not setting a good enough time before the rain returned and they finished in 11th and 12th respectively. Lance Stroll was 13th for Aston Martin, Kevin Magnussen in 14th for Haas and Valtteri Bottas 15th for Alfa Romeo. Yuki Tsunoda and Nyck de Vries were in 16th and 18th for AlphaTauri and Pierre Gasly 17th for Alpine. Logan Sargeant was in 19th for Williams and Guanyu Zhou 20th for Alfa Romeo. via Formula One | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/sport/formulaone

Hi, I really wanna rewatch some old races, do you have some recommodations? I only have the F1 tv archive tho. I really like your blog btw

Hey! 

Anyone who knows me knows that Germany 2009 is my favourite race of all time, so I recommend that! Brazil 2008, and Brazil 2012 are good ones as well! (Although I prefer not to think about those)

2013 British Grand Prix is pretty dramatic, as well as 2011 Chinese Grand Prix (another favourite)

Spa 1998 is a classic, strongly recommend. Japan 2005, Hungary 2003, Canada 2011 and of course the 1995 European Grand Prix are all worth a watch as well. 

I’m not sure how many of those are on F1TV but I hope it’s a starting point!
