Lewis Hamilton is one of the greatest drivers in the history of
Formula One motor racing. He is just the second British driver to
win the World Championship on three occasions and the first to win
back-to-back titles. His rise to the top was certainly dramatic,
but hardly surprising given his first meeting with the then manager
of McLaren, Ron Dennis. Ten-year-old Lewis told Dennis he wanted to
drive in Formula One for McLaren and, 12 years later, he was doing
just that. Rookie drivers don't win the World Championship first
time out, but Lewis came within one point of doing that. Twelve
months later, no one could stop him or McLaren and Lewis was, at
23, F1's youngest World Champion. Over the next four seasons, Lewis
had to endure less competitive cars and, for 2013, joined for a new
powerhouse team, Mercedes. In 2014, everything worked out and 11
wins and 16 podium finishes in 19 races were more than enough to
give him a second World Championship. The following year brought so
many landmarks, including the victories in Japan, Russia and United
States when he matched his hero Ayrton Senna's total of 41 Grand
Prix victories, passed him and then clinched a third World
Championship, something only Sir Jackie Stewart had managed among
British drivers. In 2016 he will celebrate his 10th season in
Formula One and Lewis Hamilton is the ideal volume to celebrate the
landmark. Written in Bruce Jones' unique style, filled with
celebrity quotes and thrilling action photography, this book, fully
revised and updated, is perfect for Lewis Hamilton fans of all
ages.
