Product Description

Damon Hill, the world's No 2 Formula One racing driver (after Michael Schumacher) in 1994 and 1995, believes that third time will be lucky in 1996, especially as his foe and rival has transferred to the Ferrari team this year. This book not only provides a guide to Damon Hill's 1996 Grand Prix season, but it also studies the world of the Formula One driver and a gruelling season of 16 circuits spread across the globe. It describes the heady feelings of euphoria after a victory or the profound disappointment of defeat, and captures the passion and the pressure of the most high-profile, most glamorous and most dangerous sport of all. Damon's 1996 season started with three consecutive victories in Australia, Brazil and Argentina and he leads the drivers' table comfortably.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent insight into a winning season, December 3, 1997

By	[e-mail] "webby308" (Frimley, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Damon writes a review of the 1996 season with Williams Renault and his subsiquent championship victory. He allows the reader to visit areas that one can't gain from TV coverage and as it's and "official" Damon Hill publication there are many non-gp moments covered too. I hope this can become an annual event.

5.0 out of 5 stars Many great photos., July 11, 2002
