AUTHOR OF SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, LIFE TO THE LIMIT In his 17
years as a Formula 1 driver, Jenson Button has picked up a thing or
two about how to do the job properly. Sure, you need to be able to
drive a car fast - and Jenson is on hand to pass on a few tricks of
the trade here - but you also need to know the real rules for
making it to the top. Like, how to tell a multiple F1 champion they
need to check their blind-spot. What the difference is between a
helmet and a hat, and indeed a 'helmet-hat'. How to practise your
champagne spray ahead of the big day. Why it is never, ever, under
any circumstances a good idea to buy a yacht. And how to face down
your team when you've just stacked their multi-million-pound car
into a wall during practice. But 'JB' (nicknames in F1 run the full
range from initials to, well, just using first names) doesn't stop
there. HTBAF1D (catchy) lifts the lid on the people, the places,
the weird rituals, the motorhomes, the media, the cars, the perks
and the disasters. Join Jenson as he reveals how not to race a
stupid big truck, why driving Le Mans is like having five shots of
tequila before lunch, and what to do when you finally hang up your
helmet-hat.

From nowhere to the winner's podium: the story of Jenson Button's
astonishing domination of the F1 world championship. On 4 December
2008, just a few months before the new season was due to start, the
Honda Racing F1 team, which Jenson Button had been driving for
since 2006, pulled the plug on their involvement in Formula One.
The media at the time reported that it was likely that the factory
would be forced to shut, and it was unlikely that Jenson would be
able to secure a drive at a top team at this late stage. Yet
incredibly, in October 2009, Jenson Button was crowned World
Champion, and the new team that had risen from the ashes of the
Honda Racing F1 team - Brawn GP - secured the constructors'
championship in their first season, a feat never before achieved.
If this were a movie script you wouldn't believe it possible, so
how did it happen? A CHAMPIONSHIP YEAR tells Jenson's incredible
story of the 2009 season, from being written off pre-season to
winning six of the first seven races, and finally securing the
championship in brilliant style at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Jenson's personal commentary on the races is combined with notes on
strategy, on-board radio exchanges, quotes from the team and even
text messages to recreate the atmosphere of each race weekend. With
a foreword by Ross Brawn, it is a fascinating account of an
extraordinary grand prix year, and shows just what it takes to
become world champion.

LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2018 This
is my life, not the stuff you've seen, but the things you haven't.
This is my childhood growing up in the West Country, my struggles,
my doubts and my hopes. It's the people I've met in my seventeen
years in Formula One, many of whom I've loved, some of whom I
definitely haven't. It's the laughs I've shared, the battles I've
fought, some on the track with rivals and friends like Fernando
Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel. It's the pressure I
struggled with as I closed in on my World Championship in 2009,
it's the calm I felt every time I settled into the cockpit. It's my
dad - the many times he saved me, the one moment he doubted me, the
hole in my life he left me. It's everything in one go, the good
days as well as the bad. A life lived not just as a racing driver
but, ultimately, as a human being.

Michael Fassbender narrates this documentary about the history of
Formula One racing. The film chronicles the sport's development
from the 1950s through to the present day, discussing the dangers
of racing, particularly in the '70s when the cars became faster but
safety measures were still poor. After a number of fatalities,
including that of promising young Frenchman François Cevert in
1973, improvements were made to limit the dangers to drivers. It is
now almost 20 years since the last F1 driver, Ayrton Senna, was
killed in action. The documentary features interviews with Jackie
Stewart, Mario Andretti, Niki Lauda, Lewis Hamilton, Michael
Schumacher and many others.
