very interesting book following the career of an interestin man
this book i recommend if you are looking for an insight into the career of a great grand prix designer from his entry up to his more or less departure from the sport over some 35 years or so. if you are looking for technical information on the design and development of grand prix cars in specific's, this is probably not the book you are looking for. this is not to say that there isn't a lot of detailed nuggets to glean from the reading, but this is clearly not the goal of this book. i found the book quite well written, and a good read, and i came away understanding the internal working of a typical grand prix team, the politics involved, and all the ups and downs of winning and losing, along with losing someone's life as a result of a crash. The reader will also come to appreciate the demands of the sport on personal lives, most demanding of course to those that are near the pinnacle of the sport. Like most thing in life if one is to be the best at his craft he/she many times must make sacrifices that strain relationships to the breaking point and this fact is also included in the book. the book reportedly was written by a ghost writer, however one really feels like it is a life story as told by Adrian Newey, and likely could have been written by him and him alone had he had the time to do so. i don't really read must of this type of book, perhaps only one or two over the last 20 years, and i soon bore and move on to something else, being most attracted to technical books. having said that this book has turned out to be the exception and i pretty much read it from cover to cover over the course of a few days, finding it hard to put down. so yes i would recommend this book to those interested in how grand prix cars are developed, the team dynamics, politics and in this case the career path of a very interesting man.Achat vérifié : OuiÉtat : Occasion

Excellent autobiography of a flawed man
The selfishness and single-mindedness that made him great is laid bare (unintentionally?) in this autobiography. Passionate detail of a career with loved ones only as a distraction and afterthought. I still love his work, but not a fan of him as a person after reading. A compelling, quick, and easy read for a F1 fan. Recommend!Achat vérifié : OuiÉtat : Occasion
