Jenson Button: Life to the Limit: My Autobiography

Product Information

I noticed numerous grammar mistakes and the occasional missing word which I’m not going to mark the book down on because obviously it’s not Jenson’s fault. Whatever the case, it really showed me that despite how famous the person you’re reading about is, the media and what’s portrayed on TV and online can really get in your head and warp your judgement. His stories brought me to tears multiple times and you can feel how much Jenson loves him through his words. The launch is part of a high-impact Q4 campaign to celebrate the release of Button’s second book with Blink. Nie jest to biografia wyczerpująca i książka porywająca, a lekka i przyjemna lektura dla fanów talentu Brytyjczyka i samej Formuły 1.

I would recommend this book if you are interested in Formula 1, but I would preface it by saying it’s not the best written. J'ai vraiment apprécié découvrir l'histoire poignante de Button et l'évolution de sa motivation à escalader les pilliers du sport automobile avec son père.It isn’t just about his F1 glory days – it’s about the trials and tribulations it took to get there. But let’s start at the beginning… The first thing that is apparent is that it was by no accident that Jenson Button ended up being in the position to win the F1 World Championship. In a relaxed conversational style, he talks about his personal drive, his father, his fatherhood to be, the ongoing love for motor sports and 'growing up'.

This is a light and easy to read book – more emotional and conversational than technical or statistical.

It’s the laughs I’ve shared, the battles I’ve fought, some on the track with rivals and friends like Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel. I have been a fan of Jenson since I was a kid who just liked his funny name, and followed his F1 career, so it was nice to see the story from his point of view. He takes you inside what it’s really like to be an F1 driver – not just the bits you see on screen, but all the rest that you’ve always wanted to know about – the parties, the lifestyle, the fashion faux pas – it’s all there. At 344 pages, the book is split into 3 parts – Part One is Jenson’s early childhood years from karting, Formula Ford, F3 and his test shoot with WilliamsF1.
