Mark Webber changed how motorsports in Europe saw drivers from Australia, and he has worked hard to make the transition easier for fellow drivers Daniel Ricciardo and New Zealander Mitch Evans. It’s a shame he was never able to become a world champion, but he made himself memorable in the world of F1. ( ) OK, it's a book for fans, but that's me. If you're not into Formula 1 motor racing, maybe you'll be bored by the stats and all the detail about cars, teams and personalities you don't know. But, for anyone who has followed Mark's career and shared in the highs and lows, the glories and the MANY frustrations, this book is a necessary rounding out of understanding. Mark fills in the details of team dynamics in ways that confirms what most of us suspected all along. The hurdles over which he was required to jump often had little to do with motor racing itself. Like most sports books, it's not high literature, but Mark with ghostwriter Stuart Sykes, does a good job of telling the story from many points of view and the pace is maintained right to the end. Thankfully, that's not the end of Mark! By the way, this is the first time I have put a book on Library Thing that has been read by no-one else. I could smell the drying ink as I read it.

Mark Webber was at the center of one of the most captivating chapters in the history of Formula One. In 2010, while racing for Red Bull, he and his team mate Sebastian Vettel went head to head for the World Championship. There could only be one winner. Since retiring from Formula One Mark has concentrated on endurance racing, including the legendary Le Mans 24 Hour race. He hit the front pages of newspapers around the world in December 2014 when he slammed into the barricades in the final round of the FIA World Endurance Championship in South America, and was lucky to escape with his life. But the controversy of his relationship on and off the track with Vettel, who went on to win multiple world titles, has never been far beneath the surface. Here, for the first time, Webber tells the inside story of one of Formula One's most intriguing battles--it is a story that goes to the heart of why the sport is loved by millions of fans around the world. In his trademark straight-talking, no-nonsense style Mark reveals his amazing life on and off the Formula One race track. From his first taste of karting to his F1 debut in 2002, scoring Minardi's first points in three years at the Australian Grand Prix, through to his first win with Red Bull at the 2009 German Grand Prix and the year he should have been crowned World Champion. Mark Webber's journey to the top of Formula One was every bit as determined and committed as his racing. This is his searingly honest story. Includes a foreword by Formula One legend Sir Jackie Stewart. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
