THE DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL DRIVER IN F1 HISTORY

After equalling Michael Schumacher's record of seven world titles, and overtaking him as having the most race wins, pole positions and podium finishes, Sir Lewis Hamilton became the most successful racing driver of all time - and the most dominant and successful Briton ever to drive in Formula 1.

Hamilton's debut season in 2007 won him fans around the world, and his place in Formula 1 history was sealed the following year when he became the youngest ever world champion. In the years since, he has created headlines on and off the track with his rivalries with Nico Rosberg, Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen, a shock move from Mercedes to Ferrari, along with relationships that have landed him on the front pages of the tabloids. However, despite the media glare, he has continued to prove his incredible talent and tenacity and remains utterly dominant in his sport.

In this insightful biography, bestselling sports author Frank Worrall traces the slipstream of Hamilton's incredible career as the fastest driver on the planet. This is the story of the young man who has gone from being the rookie Sir Jackie Stewart said 'has rewritten the rule book' to a world champion many times over - and become Britain's greatest ever sportsman in the process.

I really enjoy biographies because they show the struggle and the mistakes and that people that appear superhuman have actually done a lot of work to get there. Although this book starts showing Lewis' background, it quickly jumps into strict fact-telling about races and finishes with little added in between.
What makes me dislike the narrative is that, in every scenario, the author portrays Lewis Hamilton as a person who can do no wrong. Even on his mistakes he wasn't at fault. It was always something else and he showed humility and all other facets of a perfect human being.

Meanwhile every other person that wins over Lewis does not do so because they are also skilled but because of luck or a mistake by the team that caused Lewis to lose or just because the car was better than Lewis. That, for me, is not a biography made by someone through a journalistic lens and without bias, It's just someone writing about their hero in a very biased manner.

Moreover the author uses a repetitive "pay tribute" every time he's telling about Lewis or someone else thanking or mentioning someone in an interview. This is not a big problem but I found a very repetitive usage of it. A couple of synonyms could have been used or it could have been simply left without the colorful comment on a quote.

Biased and repetitive
