Here, Jenson tells his full story for the first time in his own honest, intelligent and eloquent style. This isn't necessarily a bad thing for the book, and would make it a brilliant introduction for new fans, but just be warned that if you do already know a thing or two about motorsports, there might be sections which aren't particularly interesting. There’s almost nothing about his personal life - while I can’t help being a bit nosy about some things, it’s actually refreshing to read something focused on the most interesting stuff and I actually learned a lot about my favourite sport as well.
