He reflects on how his father’s tragic passing left a massive void in his life and had him questioning his love for F1. It is obvious there is plenty of his personal life not covered – reported infidelity is ignored, and an abortion is covered only as a comment on how the press covered him. Jenson Button, personnage dont je me moquais, je le classais comme un pilote très en retrait, peu ouvert et très peu intéressant.

En las reseñas decían que esta lectura era como sentarse a tomar un café con un amigo, confirmo, JB y yo ahora somos besties. This book captured the essence of Formula 1 in great detail and if you're a massive fan like me, you'll learn so much from it. The first four of her criteria might be moot, but certainly not the last: I admit I never earned tens of millions of dollars by hopping in a car and driving it fast.It’s a joy to work with Jenson and his team again in what feels like a natural succession to Life To The Limit. I personally enjoyed reading about the car controls, aerodynamics and downforce, written in so straightforward a way that even this totally non technical reader could understand. Igazából nem nagoyn szeretem ezt a műfajt, mert többnyire úgyis szellemírók írják meg több-kevesebb ügyességgel, ami részben elhitelteleníti a művet, részben pedig érdektelen sztorikkal fújják fel. The stuff you don’t hear about at the time all comes to light in autobiographies when enough time has passed that nobody will care anymore (hopefully) and I learnt a lot about what went on within his teams, with his teammates and especially with his team managers. Button gives interesting insights into some of the sports most fascinating characters – Flavio Briatorie most of all.

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. Lisa Hoare, communications director for adult non-fiction, Bonnier Books UK, said: “We wanted to create a great experience for fans of Jenson and Formula 1 — what better place to hold his launch event than at the home of British motor racing! Was the contract misread by his management team or was it BAR’s signing of the contract with Honda to supply the car engines. A genuine driver autobiography isn’t the real deal without providing some personal jibes and acrimony.Jenson's World Championship victory for the unsponsored and unfancied Brawn GP team is one of the most extraordinary against-the-odds sports stories of the century. Part Two is a quick recount of his rookie year at Williams, exiting to Renault for 2 seasons, the Honda years (1st GP win at Hungary 2006), Honda withdrawal at the end of 2009 and redemption with his 2009 world championship.

Shines a light on some of the stranger decisions in Jensen’s career – most notably his decision to leave Brawn just after wining the World Championship. 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. But meeting K was a one in a lifetime event, my Harlequin summer, I'll never meet another man who loves racing and has a couple of million a year to spend on his hobby. He reveals his relationships with some of the biggest names in Formula 1- Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso as well some of the most colorful characters like Bernie Ecclestone, Ron Dennis, Frank Williams and serial winner Ross Brawn.El libro cierra con imágenes de todo lo que fue contando, que si bien me hubiese gustado que estuvieran cada una en la parte del libro donde hablan de eso y no todas juntas al final, fue una excelente manera de anclar la imagen visual que nos narraba. I have dabbled in watching F1 over the years as my dad is a fan, but I don't know masses about it, so I found his detailed explanations about strategy, and getting the most out of the car, and the variations that unfolded over different seasons, really interesting. Formułę 1 śledzę od lat i każdą okazję, by dowiedzieć się więcej o kulisach motorsportu i rywalizacji zawodników oraz konstruktorów przyjmuję z otwartymi ramionami.
