4.0 out of 5 stars
Good, but could have been better,
This review is from: Schumacher: The Official Inside Story of the Formula One Icon (Hardcover)
Great book with a great insight into Schuey's life (also privat life), but for me it is too much of a picture book rather than a 'serious' biography of a racing driver. Maybe it's just me, but I would have preferred a more informative autobiography about how he has seen his racing career so far and certain situations. I dream of a Schuey autobiography in which he goes through all of his races, his entire career.I hope we will get one in the future...
