Lewis Hamilton - Expanded, New Edition

Lewis Hamilton has caught up with Michael Schumacher in terms of both race wins and world championship titles in 2020, and shares the title of "the most successful racing driver of all time" with him, and he is also the greatest British Formula 1 driver who has ever lived. He won over millions of fans worldwide with his debut season in 2007, and the following year he went on to become the youngest ever world champion in F1 history. Although he has constantly made headlines in the years since - sometimes with his duels with Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel, sometimes with his tumultuous relationships - despite the media attention he has received, he has remained an incredibly talented and extremely determined professional who persistently dominates the world of motorsport. In his thorough and readable biography, popular sports journalist Frank Worrall has undertaken no less a task than to track down the world's fastest man. We learn the story of an extraordinary young man who, even as a rookie, was respected by living legends such as Sir Jackie Stewart, and who over time became a multiple world champion and Britain's most successful athlete.
