FERRARI BLues
DE MYTHE VAN DE SCUDERIA
Het Rode Team, de Scuderia, het Steigerende Paard, kortom; Scuderia Ferrari. Een legende, een fenomeen, een iconische renstal, zonder welke de Formule 1 er totaal anders had uitgezien.
Superlatieven schieten te kort om de magie van het team uit Maranello te beschrijven. Elke coureur, op Max Verstappen na dan, wil ervoor rijden. Lewis Hamilton is de meest recente ex-wereldkampioen in het rood.
Maar hoe geloofwaardig is de lokroep van de Scuderia nog als de prijzen maar niet willen komen. De laatste wereldkampioen dateert van 2007. Vóór Michael Schumacher zijn onoverwinnelijke reeks neerzette van 2000 tot 2005, was het 21 jaar geleden, dat de titel naar Maranello ging.
Misschien is Ferrari meer mythe dan macht.
Dit boek vertelt het verhaal van de Scuderia, zoals dat nog nooit is verteld. Van Enzo via Gilles Villeneuve, naar Kimi; van de kampioenen tot de doden, van ontwerpers tot bandenspecialisten. Allemaal spelen ze een rol in het oudste team op de grid.
‘Bij Ferrari is het altijd drama.’
MAX
DE EERSTE NEDERLANDSE F1-WERELDKAMPIOEN OOIT
After Max Verstappen's world title in 2021, a second consecutive one followed in 2022. That's why the book "Max" needed a graceful update. This arrived in November 2022 in the form of a deluxe hardcover edition, supplemented with updated photos for fresh context and updated text.
This edition includes the views of former world champion Sir Jackie Stewart and leading English-language journalists such as Will Buxton (Drive to Survive), Peter Windsor (former manager of former world champion Nigel Mansell) and author and F1 expert David Tremayne.
Furthermore, the spectacular season finale of 2021 in which he won his first title and the following season in which the Dutch-Belgian retained his title in a superior manner.
The publishing rights have now been sold to nine countries.
‘MAX – The Dutch Master’ is available online at EVRO Publishing

“Beautifully written, beautifully put together.”
Peter Windsor
“Well-written and superbly researched, and packed with quotes from the great and the good in the top tier of racing.”
Octane
“The book’s at its best exploring Verstappen’s pre-F1 days, which account for about half of its pages.”
Motorsport News
“Hoogeboom excels when recapping the very early days for Verstappen, as Max criss-crossed Europe with his father Jos to dominate the karting scene.”
Autosport
“This biography is well researched and written. It’s loaded with interviews from people close to him and his family. It makes an interesting telling of the Max story in the words of people who know him well. It’s also nicely broken up with period snaps.”
Auto Express
“Hoogeboom does a fine job in covering the key incidents, pivotal moments, and getting behind-the-scenes… For the Verstappen fan there is much to enjoy.”
racefans.net
“The fact that this book only starts to talk about Verstappen’s F1 career halfway through reflects Hoogeboom’s unexpected approach to the book… it was fascinating to read of the thriving Dutch and Belgian scene, starring characters like former F1 driver Huub Rothengatter, Kees van der Grint, Paul Lemmers and Frits van Amersfoort, who ran Max’s 2014 Formula 3 campaign… Hoogeboom writes with insight and style, and his obvious bias can be forgiven as being part of the massive feel-good effect Max has had on Dutch identity and self-esteem. The standard of translation from the original Dutch is perfect, and the book reads more fluently than several F1 biographies I’ve endured in recent years. The book is what we’ve come to expect from Evro — a robust, well-designed, and excellently illustrated hardback.”
