Lewis Hamilton's explosive arrival on the Formula 1 scene has made
front-page headlines. In My Story, for the first time Lewis opens
up about his stunning debut season in grand prix racing, as well as
his dad Anthony, his home life and his early years. The only book
with the real story, as told by Lewis. In his first season in F1,
Lewis Hamilton thrilled the world of motor racing by finishing on
the podium in his first nine consecutive races - the first driver
to do so in the sport's 57-year history - and drove to victories in
Canada, America, Hungary and Japan. But bare statistics alone do
scant justice to the amazing impact Lewis Hamilton has had on the
sporting landscape. My Story gives the real account from Lewis
himself, as he sets the record straight about his colourful life on
and off the track. Given a grounded upbringing by his dedicated
father in unremarkable Stevenage, Lewis tells about how he first
tried out go-karting while on a cut-price family holiday in Ibiza.
In his book he gives the real version of events at a motor sport
dinner where, as a nine-year-old wearing a borrowed suit, he
approached McLaren team boss Ron Dennis with the immortal words
that were to change his life forever. He rose rapidly through the
Junior and Formula ranks, dominating every series with his raw
speed and canny race craft. Here Lewis candidly recalls those key
moments that shaped his career and went some way towards
compensating for the sacrifices made by his father Anthony in
getting his son to the top. Lewis also charts how he got into the
sport and was signed up by Ron Dennis, what motivates him, who are
his closest friends, how he copes with the constant travelling, and
the physical and mental challenges of driving a state-of-the-art
Formula 1 car. He looks back in detail at the 2007 World
Championship - the race wins, the frightening crash in Germany, his
intense rivalry with team-mate Fernando Alonso, his special
relationship with Ron Dennis, and the furore over the Ferrari
allegations - right up to the dramatic last race of the season in
Brazil.
