The Impossible Collection of Formula 1 (2nd Edition) by Assouline
For the average reader, even driving a single lap of a Grand Prix would be impossible, but for the world’s twenty best racing drivers in the series’ ten teams, it is a way of life that is extreme in almost every facet. With the popularity of the Netflix series Drive to Survive, the premiere of the new film F1, and the seventy-fifth anniversary of Formula One, Assouline presents this new edition, updated to reflect recent developments such as the incredible domination of the Red Bull team.
This handcrafted Ultimate Collection volume chronicles the milestones that lifted Formula One from a gentlemen’s club in 1950 to a global sport with hundreds of millions of fans around the world. Highlighting exceptional technical innovations, remarkable drivers’ achievements and exciting race finishes, Formula 1: The Impossible Collection illuminates immortal names such as Juan Manuel Fangio, Bruce McLaren, Enzo Ferrari, Colin Chapman, Bernie Ecclestone, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Jean Todt, Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.
A spirited tribute to the sport and all those who have made it possible over the decades, this book dynamically illustrates the passion that fires the mechanics, technicians, engineers and team directors behind the scenes, and the drivers themselves, who are prepared to possibly pay the ultimate sacrifice to be part of its glorious history.

All in-stock orders at Sip Hip Hooray are typically processed and dispatched within 1-3 business days. We don't operate on Saturdays, Sundays, or U.S. holidays. For personalized items, anticipate around 2-3 weeks for delivery after you've approved the artwork.
Do bear in mind that holidays, product launches, and sales events might extend order processing times.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING POLICY
We are unable to pre-calculate all international shipping rates at checkout. Once your order is placed, our team will review your order, including the product specifications, box size, and weight. There may be additional shipping charges applied after your order has been processed. If any additional costs arise, we will reach out to you for confirmation before proceeding with shipment.
INTERNATIONAL DUTIES, TAXES, AND TARIFFS POLICY
Due to the ever-changing global trade climate and varying regulations by country, Sip Hip Hooray is unable to estimate or include duties, taxes, tariffs, or other import fees at the time of purchase.
All international orders may be subject to additional charges imposed by the destination country’s customs authorities. These charges—including but not limited to duties, VAT, tariffs, and brokerage fees—are the sole responsibility of the purchaser/recipient.
By placing an international order with Sip Hip Hooray, you acknowledge and accept that any such additional costs will be paid by the recipient and are not included in the shipping charges or product pricing.
We recommend checking with your local customs office for more information on potential fees before placing your order.
SHIPPING DELAYS & REFUNDS
We strive to deliver your order promptly. If, however, your non-personalized order does face a delay from our end and arrives late (excluding shipping courier-related delays like weather or equipment failure), you're eligible for a refund once you return the items. We'll provide a call tag for the product return. Upon receiving the returned items, your refund will be processed.

Due to the custom nature of our products, all sales are final.
REFUND TIMELINE POLICY
If a refund is approved, please note it typically takes 3–10 business days for the funds to appear in your account. This timeline depends on multiple factors including your bank’s processing speed, credit card provider, and the payment method used at checkout. Unfortunately, we are unable to expedite this process once a refund has been issued.
Refunds processed through Shopify Payments usually initiate within 2 business days, but your bank may still require additional time to post the funds.
We understand the wait can be frustrating, but rest assured—once we process the refund on our end, it’s in the hands of your bank or card provider to complete the transaction.
CUSTOM SKETCH ARTWORK POLICY
For custom sketches, we accommodate 2 rounds of alterations, provided they don't necessitate a complete redo. Should you have specific changes in mind, do relay them so our artist can incorporate them. However, since these sketches are meticulously hand-drawn and delivered to you, the associated fees are non-refundable.
