Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. A good story, although written in a very strange way. Mansell comes across as a very direct, literal man, and perhaps as a product of this, not shy of telling you just how amazing he is, but also surprisingly defensive and sensitive to criticism that has been leveled at him. Incredible commitment and self belief. Formula 1 also seems like a very parochial, political, back stabbing environment. Mansell clearly feels that some of the major talents like Prost and Senna were very manipulative characters. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER Nigel Mansell is one of motor racing's all-time greats. An ordinary bloke who took on the best and most ruthless drivers in the world's most glamorous sport and won; the epitome of speed, daring and sheer bloody determination. His refusal to be beaten endeared him to millions, but few inside the sport or outside it have fully understood what motivates him in his quest to be number one. Here, for the first time Nigel reveals the secrets of his driving technique, his hunger for racing and the psychological approach that helped him outwit legends like Niki Lauda, Nelson Piquet, Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna. This new edition of his bestselling autobiography is an absorbing account of one man's rollercoaster ride to the top. "The pick of the Formula 1 books; meticulously researched and cleverly written."THE TIMES "It's a tight, tautly written and well ordered tome... Mansell pulls no punches and makes no excuses for being the way he is."AUTOCAR & MOTOR "The book paints a vivid picture of his long rise to the top."SUNDAY TELEGRAPH "A superb effort"MURRAY WALKER Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Written in conjunction with James Allen, it covers his entire career from karts at nine, to the final attempt at formula 1 in the 1995 McLaren. He was a bold and courageous driver, not just in terms of racing, but also taking financial risks to pursue his dream of becoming a F1 driver. He had a lot of talent, and was picked up by Lotus, before going to Williams. He had a brief spell at Ferrari, and then went back to Williams again his first and only championship.
He was a fast and sometime unforgiving driver, and in this book he makes very sure that you are aware of his point of view for all the events that happened, controversial or otherwise. And because of that it did grate a little reading this, hence two stars. ( )
