'EXTREMELY ENTERTAINING...REMARKABLY FRANK' DAILY TELEGRAPH 50
GREATEST SPORTS BOOKS OF ALL TIME After finishing as runner-up
three times in the drivers' world championship, in 1992 Nigel
Mansell finally secured the title. It was the crowning achievement
of a hugely successful career, in which he won 31 Grand Prix, a
record for a British driver that stood until Lewis Hamilton
overhauled him in 2014. Always an aggressive driver, his exciting
style meant he was hailed as a hero by his millions of fans in the
UK and around the world. Out of the car, he was outspoken and
charismatic, which merely served to enhance his reputation. Now, 20
years after he retired from F1, Mansell looks back on a stellar
career in which he battled against many legends of the sport, from
Niki Lauda through the Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost years and on to
Michael Schumacher. He provides vivid insights into what it was
like to race against those greats in an era when the risks to
drivers were enormous. He explains what motivated him to get to the
top, and takes the reader behind the scenes to give an unrivalled
insight into the sport and the key moments of his career. Still
closely involved in Formula One, Mansell assesses how F1 has
changed, and gives his authoritative verdict on the sport, the cars
and the drivers. It is an unmissable account from one of Britain's
greatest sporting heroes. THE MASSIVE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER.

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.
