Lewis Hamilton: My Story

Product Information

He is talented, however, the book shows that before he became talented he did a lot of reps and years driving.

It is interesting reading about Lewis's feelings about his family, support he received and feelings about getting to Formula 1. I knew I had a future in Formula One and, with reasonable luck, plenty more opportunities to win the World Championship. The best way to see this book is not as an exhaustive account of his career up to 2008 but more as an in-depth account of his debut season with a brief account of the back story. Vê-se um Lewis ainda muito jovem (22 anos), já tendo passado por incríveis altos e baixos na vida/carreira e ainda não tinha se sagrado campeão da F1. So, too, does the day I was confirmed as Fernando’s team-mate, as a race driver in the team, and all the other testing.Who would have dreamt that I would go to North America and win back-to-back Grands Prix in Canada and the United States? The book, written prematurely without realising that 2007 F1 championship wasn't the best that would happen to him, does not show much of artistic maturity as well. However, living such an exciting life and in an environment where you have to win because everything else is a failure. He looks back in detail at the 2007 World Championship -- the race wins, the frightening crash in Germany, his intense rivalry with team-mate Fernando Alonso, his special relationship with Ron Dennis, and the furore over the Ferrari allegations -- right up to the dramatic last race of the season in Brazil. As the story of his rookie season in F1 and the route to get there it was an interesting view on Lewis' motivations, but it was a little self-indulgent and repetitive.

For me, even when I am feeling pretty stretched, rushing around in the middle of a Formula One weekend and surrounded by people who want a bit of my time – and with what feels like a thousand things to do – I only have to think of one person to keep me feeling motivated and to put a smile on my face: my brother Nicolas. With victories in Canada, America and Hungary and Japan he led the World Drivers' Championship, right up to the last race of the season. He looks back in detail at the 2007 World Championship: his four race wins, the frightening crash in Germany, his rivalry with team-mate Fernando Alonso, his special relationship with Ron Dennis, and what it's like living under the spotlight of the paparazzi -- right up to the last race of the season in Brazil. Lewis ci permette di entrare nel suo mondo, ci mostra come tutto è cominciato, i sacrifici fatti da lui e dalla sua famiglia, i suoi sogni e le sue speranze.In his first season in F1, Lewis Hamilton thrilled the world of motor racing by finishing on the podium in his first nine consecutive races - the first driver to do so in the sport's 57-year history - and drove to victories in Canada, America, Hungary and Japan. The pressure, the expectation, the hunger and the humility are all articulated in this honest account.
