Published to coincide with start of the hotly-anticipated 2008
season, this book is a widely acclaimed and hugely successful
hardback published at the climax of the 2007 World Championship. It
has considerable brand new material added to the paperback edition.
Veteran F1 journalist Mark Hughes unearths the true foundations
that have enabled a personable and down-to-earth 22-year-old from a
sleepy village in Hertfordshire to achieve the most successful
start to a career the sport has ever seen.This book helps you
discover how it all began, from the day Hamilton's father bought a
hyperactive six-year-old a go-kart, to the British, European and
World karting titles that followed. You can learn how at a
motorsport awards ceremony in 1995, a plucky 10-year-old Hamilton
asked Ron Dennis (the principal of McLaren F1 Racing) of the
opportunity to race for his team in the future and how in 1998, at
13-years-old, McLaren duly signed him in a long-term agreement that
made him the youngest driver in history with an F1 contract.Hughes
takes us through the intervening years, right up to the explosive
2007 Formula one season when he became not only the first black
driver ever to race an F1 car, but the first driver of any colour
to stand on the podium at the end of their first nine races. As Sir
Jackie Stewart said, 'Lewis is a man of the people and the people
will love him for it.' Brand new material in this paperback edition
includes: interviews with former F1 drivers who proffer their
opinion on his qualities, where he needs to make improvements,
where he stacks-up against the greats, and what his ultimate
potential is; an insider view of testing during close season; and,
a preview of the 2008 season and a detailed run-down of his
prospects against the new team line-ups, including his new
team-mate at McLaren.
