The interest in Formula 1 is greater than ever. With new races, more car manufacturers, and sold-out grandstands, the pinnacle of motorsport, with speeds of 300 km/h, has established itself as one of the world's most popular sporting events. But Formula 1 is a complex sport. In addition to highly trained super-athletes like Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, it's about advanced technology, intricate regulations, and at times, an almost unbelievable history filled with plenty of racing and intrigue over 75 years. The payoff for spectators and TV viewers increases with their knowledge of the sport. This book is aimed at the millions of new fans who have been fascinated by Formula 1 in recent years. At the same time, experienced Formula 1 enthusiasts will gain new knowledge, and the book will provide children, young people, and adults with plenty of moments of epiphany about the world's fastest (and most expensive!) sport.

Twenty-two thousand pictures were taken around the globe for ten years. These are images of bodies and rituals, that I called Reg'art. They appeared to me as works of art, body works... These views have a point in common: they all show a naked reality with no special effects. Watching, but also knowing how to listen, feeling, the entertainment of these spiritual, rituals and celebrations... letting ourselves falling into the hallucinatory. This work combines the calendar rites, religious or initiatory. It also combines captures of expressions, soft or violent emotions, testimony of the strength of our traditional and mythological heritage, painting the rites and customs of primitive peoples.
