Jenson Button

Life to the Limit

By: Jenson Button

Narrated by: Jack Hawkins

Length: 8 hrs and 21 mins

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.

Absolutely Amazing

I'm not a Jenson Button's fan. I bought this audiobook because I'm a F1 fan and I was expecting the best memories of a World Champion. Jenson, you transported me into every Gran Prix. I felt that I was there. Thanks for writing this piece of art.
Congratulations!

great read

Jensen is a great storyteller and is willing to tell it like it is. also great insight on what it feels like to be a F1 driver

Fantastic

Great book with some great stories and real insights. Highly recommended for any F1 fans.

Great book and easy listen

The book was great. Jenson is funny and insightful. Only thing that I could say negative was the way the guy reading it can’t pronounce “sixth” correctly, and always says it as if he’s saying “sickth” and it’s crazy how many times Button finishes 6th, so you have to hear it A LOT!

Perfekt JB Fan book - well done

Super personal and all in all a very strong book.
A good book behind a f1 driver that was among the greatest in his time.

Great book for F1 fans

If you like Formula 1, you will absolutely love this book. Even if you do not like F1 you will enjoy it. The wey JB tells the story is great. Even if you know what is happening you will get really excited and hungry for more.

Great book with a lot of stories!

Great book! It is an excellent combination of a bio, F1 stories and details of F1 drivers don’t come out very often.

Great Listen

I followed JB from the start of his F1 career so the book was a nice recollection of some brilliant and also sad times. l just wish JB would have narrated it himself.

Puts things into perspective

A great book. It was especially good hearing about F1 from the point of view of a driver. Jenson writes from the heart and had me in tears at one stage. A great driver and a great writer.

A must read for F1-fans

Loved it, the story and his openness about his life. It's easy to like this man.
