LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2018 Jenson Button is one of the greatest racing drivers of his generation. His seventeen years in Formula 1 have seen him experience everything the sport has to offer from nursing underpowered cars around the track to winning World Championships and everything in between. Here Jenson tells his full story for the first time in his own honest intelligent and eloquent style. From growing up as part of a motor-racing-mad family under the guidance of his father John to arriving at Williams as a fresh-faced 20 year-old to being written off by some as a playboy and his fight back to the very pinnacle of his sport. 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. Jenson's book lifts the lid on the gilded and often hidden world of Formula 1. 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 colourful characters like Flavio Briatore Ron Dennis Frank Williams and serial winner Ross Brawn. Above all he puts you right inside the cockpit in the driving seat travelling at over 200 miles per hour battling the fear of death showing you what happens when it goes wrong at high speed and allowing you to experience the euphoria of crossing the line first.
