Jenson Button: Life to the Limit

Jenson Button: Life to the Limit My Autobiography

Jenson Button β€” 2017
LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2018 This is my life, not the stuff you've seen, but the things you haven't. This is my childhood growing up in the West Country, my struggles, my doubts and my hopes. It's the people I've met in my seventeen years in Formula One, many of whom I've loved, some of whom I definitely haven't. It's the laughs I've shared, the battles I've fought, some on the track with rivals and friends like Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel. It's the pressure I struggled with as I closed in on my World Championship in 2009, it's the calm I felt every time I settled into the cockpit. It's my dad - the many times he saved me, the one moment he doubted me, the hole in my life he left me. It's everything in one go, the good days as well as the bad. A life lived not just as a racing driver but, ultimately, as a human being.

Trouble with biographies is that you probably don't know the beginning, but you know most of the story and surely know the end. Nevertheless, Jenson's book is a quick and easy read that nicely filled the gaps and explains some episodes in his life and career. I hope for more background than he provided, but still enjoyed the book a lot.
