Well, you can’t talk about Formula One without mentioning Michael Schmacher, and aside from a cheesy early ’90s techno hit, everything he puts his name to literally turns to gold.
If you want to learn a little more about the man, the enigma, the mystery, then this is definitely something to add to your collection. It delves a little deeper than most, and if you can’t find any new information in its info-packed 430-odd pages, then, well, you’re just a freak, aren’t you?
Specifically, the book chronicles perhaps one of Schuie’s finest moments, that being his attempt to take home his eighth world championship in October 2006, Sao Paulo. Everything – and that means every tiny spec of detail – is covered, from the car’s set-up, to the other drivers and the psychology behind the race itself. It’s high drama, that’s for sure.
However, you can also learn about the man’s first ride (a crappy home-built go kart_, right through to his signing to Mercedes in 1991 as of the super-youngsters of the sport. All in all, it makes for fast-paced, edge-o’-your-seat stuff, and if you’re an F1 fan, it goes without saying that you need this book.
