Jenson Button: Life to the Limit: My Autobiography

Product Information

En las reseñas decían que esta lectura era como sentarse a tomar un café con un amigo, confirmo, JB y yo ahora somos besties. A váratlanul megnyert 2009-es világbajnokság után azt gondoltam, hogy ilyen gyenge világbajnokból sem akadt túl sok, de azóta azért Button megmutatta, hogy össze lehet mérni a legjobbakkal. 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.

LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2018This is my life, not the stuff you’ve seen, but the things you haven’t. In a relaxed conversational style, he talks about his personal drive, his father, his fatherhood to be, the ongoing love for motor sports and 'growing up'. Matt Phillips, publishing director for non-fiction at Bonnier Books UK, said: “Everyone dreams of being a Formula One driver, but what’s it really like? The book combines stories of growing up along with his racing career, right from his karting days and through Formula One, and goes deep into his relationship with his father.J'ai vraiment appris beaucoup que ce soit dans la technique des monoplaces, certains systèmes exclusifs à la catégorie de Formule 1, certaines normes, le rapport avec la presse, les relations entre pilotes, le détail de certaines saisons, des anecdotes croustillantes sous alcools. The post-F1 related chapters look at his recent sportscar stints in Japan and Le Mans preparations and adapting to F1 broadcast commentary with Sky. What life is like as a driver in a day to day basis, what the team expects him to do, and how he does it. He was at all the races, you couldn't see one without the other being somewhere nearby (except when Jenson was ACTUALLY racing, and John was obviously in the garage).

Bonnier Books UK acquires second book from Jenson Button Matt Phillips, publishing director for non-fiction at Bonnier Books UK, acquired all language rights for Jenson Button’s second book How to be an F1 Driver from David Luxton Associates.He currently competes in the Japanese Super GT Series driving for Team Kunimitsu, in which he won the title in 2018. It is the absorbing story of a life dedicated to building a racing career and a fascinating insight into what that career entailed. 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 couldn’t quite keep my attention – it was often just a list of his race classifications - but I finished it, nevertheless.
