Jenson Button: Life to the Limit: My Autobiography

Product Information

There were so many different ones and they all had that stretched-out beauty, reaching upward and outward, or just standing around, all the proportions were perfect. While this book was not the best writing i've read, Jenson provides a quick look into the essential parts of a formula one driver's life through his conversational approach in discussing his own career.

Jenson’s first book with Blink, Life to the Limit, was the best-selling sports book of 2017, with 133k copies sold through TCM. Above everything, Jenson came across as a real, genuine bloke in his book – despite the money, the fame, the swanky boats and houses and cars – if you met him in a pub for a curry on a Tuesday night, you’d have a right laugh. 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. Personally, I don't care to repeatedly hear how a man who earns more than I could ever dream of, continually wasted money on yachts etc.Matt Phillips, publishing director for non-fiction at Bonnier Books UK, said: “Everyone dreams of being a Formula One driver, but what’s it really like? Where How To Be An F1 Driver scores is in opening up an understanding just how much work ethic is involved in ever getting established in the elite sport. Putting Life to the Limit together was an amazing experience and I’m excited to be embarking on a new challenge by putting the reader in the paddock, behind the wheel and behind the scenes of the show that never ends.

He currently competes in the Japanese Super GT Series driving for Team Kunimitsu, in which he won the title in 2018. 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 colorful characters like Bernie Ecclestone, Ron Dennis, Frank Williams and serial winner Ross Brawn.

I don’t know where I might have got that piece of information from, probably some form of social media? A Honda ambassador, Jenson is co-owner of Rocket Motorsport and co-founder of Leger cycling apparel.
