About this title

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.
