Worst... F1 book... ever....

The Daily Telegraph Formula One Years book has just had a new issue published.It looks like someone at Andrea Moda wrote it.Serious factual abound....
*It has the 1978 Italian GP as non-championship,yet Andretti still becomes champion there.Brilliantly,he manages to win it again in Canada
*There is a special box on Lella Lombardi becoming the first F1 driver...on the 1976 page
*The start of the 1975 British GP is shown with a photograph of the 1976 British GP.You can tell this rather obviously since it also appears for the 1976 race
*Most bizarrely, a picture of Barrichello emotional at having come 2nd in the 1997 Monaco race is on the 1996 page(a year before the Stewart team,whose overalls he wears,entered F1) and captioned 'Barrichello is upset at having retired with four other cars at the start of the 1996 Monaco GP'....
Not to mention the infuriating habit of ending each year after the championship has been won,meaning half the results from 1992 disappear.No mention of the farcical 1991 Australian GP....
Anyone with a reasonable knowledge of Formula 1 should have picked these errors up.Seriously bad stuff...
