Synopsis
Jenson Button has been winning races since he was eight years old. In this autobiography he describes what it's like to be weighed down by the burdens of other's expectations as he works his way up the grid in the hard world of Formula One. Finding himself racing in Formula One only weeks after his 20th birthday, Button found himself thrust into the turbulent world of the ambitious BMW-Williams team as the rookie partner of world champion Michael Shumacher's promising brother Ralf. Already tagged by a hungry media as the next Ayrton Senna, he was going to sink without trace, or fight for his corner. This is a first-person account not only of the British star's first season and the career which led him to such a dramatic opportunity, but also of the reasons why his suceeding year demanded a switch to the Benetton-Renault team and how he fared.

About the Author
Jenson Button began racing in Formula One just weeks after his twentieth birthday, and is the hottest young racer in Britain today.
From the Back Cover
How does it feel to be a young sportsman on the world stage, weighed down by the burden of the expectation of others? What pressures are created when your raw talent excites such dreams that anything other than ultimate achievement will be regarded as failure?
Jenson Button has been winning motor races since he was eight years old, yet even he was surprised to find himself racing in Formula One only weeks after his twentieth birthday. Thrust into the turbulent world of the ambitious BMW-Williams team as the rookie partner of world champion Michael Schumacher's promising brother Ralf, and already tagged by a hungry media as the next Ayrton Senna, he was going to sink without trace, or fight for his corner.
Now a regular in the sports pages and celebrity magazines, here the British star gives his own account of his first season and the career that led him to such a dramatic opportunity. MY LIFE ON THE FORMULAR ONE ROLLERCOASTER also examines the reasons why his suceeding year demanded a switch to the Benetton-Renault team, and how he fared. It puts the reader right alongside Jenson Button, whether in the cockpit or on the pit wall, a young David taking on the established Goliaths, in a razor-sharp sport which takes no prisoners.
