My Greatest Defeat is a collection of honest and revealing insights
into 20 of the greatest living racing drivers, legends of the
worlds of Formula 1, Indycar, NASCAR, Le Mans and Rally. Interviews
conducted specially for this book are with (in alphabetical order)
Mario Andretti, Derek Bell, Emerson Fittipaldi, Dario Franchitti,
Jeff Gordon, Mika H kkinen, Damon Hill, Jimmie Johnson, Tom
Kristensen, Niki Lauda, Sebastien Loeb, Felipe Massa, Rick Mears,
Emanuele Pirro, Alain Prost, Carlos Sainz, Jackie Stewart, Bobby
Unser, Ari Vatanen and Alex Zanardi. Here are five highlights...
Dario Franchitti -- The Indycar champion talks of the deaths of the
friends that book-ended his career in racing, the heartbreak that
each caused and the aftermath of accidents that affected the
physical functioning of his brain. Jeff Gordon -- One of the
all-time NASCAR greats, he looks back on his many championships,
admitting that today he cannot view a single one with anything but
regret as family relationships were soured and stretched to
breaking point. Jimmie Johnson -- One of the greatest stock car
drivers in history, Johnson was at one time considered a reckless
outcast. He reflects on the little-known crash that almost killed
him and changed his mindset forever. Niki Lauda -- A racer who
needs no introduction, Niki Lauda discusses the loss of one of his
aircraft over Thailand in which all on board were killed; for eight
months he fought to clear the name of his pilots and change
aircraft safety forever. Alex Zanardi -- In a deep and revealing
conversation, the Paralympic gold medalist, who lost both legs in
an Indycar accident, discusses how we decipher between our passion
and our ambition and how childhood dreams affect our adult
decisions. Striking portrait artworks come from a revered artist in
modern comic book design, Giuseppe 'Cammo' Camuncoli, who is
renowned for the dark, brooding style that has seen him become a
staple in the Vertigo, DC and Marvel stables.
