How to Be an F1 Driver

De: Jenson Button

Narrado por: Jack Hawkins, Jenson Button

Author of Sunday Times best seller Life to the Limit.

In his 17 years as a Formula 1 driver, Jenson Button has picked up a thing or two about how to do the job properly. Sure, you need to be able to drive a car fast - and Jenson is on hand to pass on a few tricks of the trade here - but you also need to know the real rules for making it to the top.

Like, how to tell a multiple F1 champion they need to check their blind spot. What the difference is between a helmet and a hat, and indeed a 'helmet-hat'. How to practise your champagne spray ahead of the big day. Why it is never, ever, under any circumstances a good idea to buy a yacht. And how to face down your team when you've just stacked their multi-million-pound car into a wall during practice.

But 'JB' (nicknames in F1 run the full range from initials to, well, just using first names) doesn't stop there. HTBAF1D (catchy) lifts the lid on the people, the places, the weird rituals, the motorhomes, the media, the cars, the perks and the disasters. Join Jenson as he reveals how not to race a stupid big truck, why driving Le Mans is like having five shots of tequila before lunch and what to do when you finally hang up your helmet-hat.

Wise old jenson

It’s all in the thumb was awesome truly special driver would recommend for any racing driver

I just simply love it

I loved the detailed and humorous depictions of his career. I also love jb and the narrator had a similar enough voice that it really helped me to hear jb’s voice in the writing even more than I otherwise would.

Fantastic

This is one of those that could have gone either way. It’s either a biography and how he got into racing in F1 with some insights here and there. OR, it is what life in F1 is all about. This is the latter. This book is fantastic and allows the reader/listener to experience “Formula 1-ville” as JB calls it. You get insights into other drivers, what sponsor events are like. Hands down, best book I’ve listened to this year!

Genuine F1 Insight

Listening to Jenson Button’s book felt like having a conversation with him. There’s no pretense or false drama. Honest, endearing and informative.
