Publisher's Summary
The full-length, in-depth and intimate autobiography from Jenson Button, one of Britain's greatest ever racing drivers.
Jenson Button is one of the finest racing drivers of his generation. His 17 years in Formula One have seen him experience everything the sport has to offer, from nursing duff cars round 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 as a playboy, distracted by the luxurious trappings of his lifestyle, 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 One. He reveals his relationships with some of the biggest names in the sport - Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso - as well some of the most colourful characters, such as Bernie Ecclestone, 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.

Outstanding look behind the curtain
Have been a Button fan since he first rolled onto the F1 scene with Williams.
Was a great book, very well narrated, catching the pace, tone and emotion of each page.
Bravo to all parties concerned.
Excellent

JB sounds like a wonderful person
This audiobook turned out better than expected. JB story is good and you can understand his character listening to the book. The narrator has to do better, lots of mistakes and hope they can be corrected.
Good book.

Average light weight autobiography.
Jenson is a very likeable character. Achieved the pinnacle of motor racing but unfortunately this book doesn't capture the intensity, multilayered story and business of F1. It's a fairly light weight chronological recount of his racing and personal life. If you're a hard core F1/sport fan who loves bold opinions, nitty gritty and the unseen side of professional sport then look elsewhere for a more satisfying read or listen.
