Critics Review

Typically ebullient… a testament to his mental and emotional strength.

Typically ebullient… a testament to his mental and emotional strength. * MotorSport *Honest, rich in self-deprecating humour, and a thoroughly entertaining read… Herbert’s recollections are packed with remarkable tales. * F1 Fanatic *Johnny Herbert is one of those rare special individuals… his story goes beyond the ordinary struggle. Told in that familiar voice that people have come to know and admire, the book is riddled with laugh-out-loud anecdotes from the world of Formula One. * Inside Line Media *Inspirational… [his] typical, self-deprecating humour is on display throughout. Reading the book is what you imagine it must be like to sit with him at the pub and have him tell you the story of his career. * Bleacher Report *From the opening page, Johnny’s book had me smiling; it was almost like he was reading it aloud to me, injecting his personality into every page. * BadgerGP *Unsurprisingly packed full of tales. * Autosport, Christmas Gift Guide *

About The Author

Johnny Herbert

Johnny Herbert is one of only nine British drivers to win a Grand Prix since the 1970s, tasting success with Benetton at Silverstone and Monza in 1995, then delivering a one and only top podium place for Jackie Stewart’s team at the 1999 European Grand Prix at the N rburgring. He also became the first active Formula 1 driver to win the endurance classic 24 Hours of Le Mans, with Bertrand Gachot and Volker Weidler in 1991, and has been a champion at karting, the Formula Ford Festival, Formula 3, the Eurpoean Le Mans and the Speedcar Series in his long and varied career. As one of the lead pundits on Sky Sports’ Formula 1 channel, he remains high-profile and hugely popular. Johnny is widely admired for his encyclopaedic knowledge of motor-racing, as well as for his extraordinary driving skills, legendary sense of humour and love of the sport.
