Lewis Hamilton: Triple World Champion: The Biography

by Frank Worrall

Lewis Hamilton is the undisputed British hero of Formula One. His phenomenal successes have seen him move to third on the all-time Grand Prix winners list and, for a record-equaling third time, plant a British flag onto the mountaintop of motor racing. With behind-the-scenes insight into the intense early rivalry between Hamilton and his teammate Fernando Alonso, which threatened to derail the young Briton's dream, and the low-down on the "spy-gate" scandal, this biography describes how Lewis handled the intensity of the media scrum around his relationship with Nicole Scherzinger and kept his dignity to emerge triumphant as he racked up sensational wins around the world. Now he has even joined iconic speedsters Damon Hill and Bradley Wiggins as a BBC Sports Personality of the Year winner. From 2015's momentous clinching of a second consecutive World Championship in Texas to the ongoing bitter rivalry with former friend Nico Rosberg—in which the German once seemingly engineered a deliberate high-speed crash—bestselling sports author Frank Worrall traces the slipstream of Hamilton's incredible career as the fastest driver on the planet. This is the ultimate story of the driver who has gone from being the rookie Sir Jackie Stewart said "has rewritten the rule book" to a triple world champion, accelerating into pole position to perhaps be called Britain's greatest ever race driver.

A bit of a missed opportunity

Although this is a good book, the early part of his career is covered very quickly. I had followed his career from the beginning but for those who would want to know more it could be a bit disappointing. The first part of the book is quite out of date in places, I was hoping that this information would have been updated. The fact that it has not smacks a little of laziness. Overall, the new content is well written but feels a bit tacked on. It is though an interesting and informing overview of his career. Hopefully, if the book is updated again in the future the earlier content will also be updated a bit.

I think that this lewis hamilton book was really good. I really like lewis hamilton and that is why I decided to read it.

I recommend the book to anyone of any gender or age as it is really interesting and can really suck you in as a reader.

The book is about lewis hamilton and his life story and it really goes into deep detail about his life and how far he has come.

Because the book is so good I have decided to read it a second time to get the full detail off it, i have almost finished it agann.
