Remembering Elio: The Life of Italian Driver Elio De Angelis by Lorie Coffey is a tribute to one of Formula 1’s most admired and fondly remembered drivers.
The book follows Elio de Angelis from his early racing in karts and Formula 3 through to Formula 1, where he drove for Shadow, Team Lotus and Brabham. Coterie’s own description notes that Elio was often remembered as a “piano player” and gentleman, but that his story was far richer than that simple image.
For Lotus enthusiasts, the book has particular significance because de Angelis became one of Team Lotus’s leading drivers after Mario Andretti’s departure, racing during an important period of transition for the team. The book combines biography, racing history and period photography, making it a strong addition to any Lotus, Team Lotus, Formula 1 or classic motorsport collection.
