I have been looking for this book for 30 years, I went looking for Villeneuve, life of the legandary and found this by mistake. I was not disappointed. Brought back lots of memories, thought it was more about his life than just one season, but still was very good. Great insite to his life and Mclaren. Buy it, is worth it.
The Best Driver Biography Ever Written
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I have read many bios on auto racing drivers and this one remains my all-time favorite. Peter was a remarkable person in a grueling and demanding profession. Leon Mandel writes of Peter with wit, charm, compassion, and a remarkable insight into the demands placed on a driver by sponsor, teams, family and friends. We get glimpses of the interaction between crew and driver, driver and owner, etc. Peter is gone too soon but this bio stands as a tribute to his skill and bravery. It is also a fine piece of writing and Leon Mandel deserves much praise for this excellent work.
