This book was a hard book to leave down and I found myself reading at all hours of the morning - engrossed in the life story of Jacques. It gave me an insight into the pros and cons of being an F1 driver while also informing me about the true character and personality behind him. I must say - you'd kick yourself for not buying this book.

P.S. Great pictures also!

I think I've read all of the Jacques books out there, and I easily enjoyed this one the most. The great thing about this one is that Jacques tells in his own words everything he experienced in his first year of F1.-Not just some boring author rehashing his past (again). If your like me and your curious what an open wheel racer thinks about, and experiences throughout a season, then you should definitely check this one out.

Well, you would never have guessed it without reading this book, but the "wildchild" of Formula One, Jacques Villeneuve, is actually pretty tame. He fusses about his eyes being sprayed with champagne on the podium, he is obsessive about changing his fireproofs up to three times a day while testing, small stones finding their way into his car bother him, he doesn't like loud noise and stuffs tissues in his ears to protect them at discos... Its all here! Worth a read if you're a dedicated JV fan!
