Have you tried this? Google is scanning books and letting us search these scans. For example I entered "McLaren Hulme" into the search window and the results included these titles:

Click on a title and you get to see a scan of the page from that book with the words McLaren and Hulme, plus a couple pages either side of that page. You are limited to seeing just a few pages at a time, and when searching for driver's names as in my example, often the page which comes up is an index page or race results. But with a little imagination, perhaps you could crawl through a whole book...
It's helpful to have a "Google account" such as gmail, there seems to be greater access to pages if you are logged in.
Take a look at what's there. I think it will be a good research tool.
