Jenson Button
In his 17 years as a Formula 1 driver, Jenson Button has picked up a thing or two about how to do the job properly. Sure, you need to be able to drive a car fast - and Jenson is on hand to pass on a few tricks of the trade here - but you also need to know the real rules for making it to the top.
Like, how to tell a multiple F1 champion they need to check their blind-spot. What the difference is between a helmet and a hat, and indeed a 'helmet-hat'. How to practise your champagne spray ahead of the big day. Why it is never, ever, under any circumstances a good idea to buy a yacht. And how to face down your team when you've just stacked their multi-million-pound car into a wall during practice.
But 'JB' (nicknames in F1 run the full range from initials to, well, just using first names) doesn't stop there. HTBAF1D (catchy) lifts the lid on the people, the places, the weird rituals, the motorhomes, the media, the cars, the perks and the disasters. Join Jenson as he reveals how not to race a stupid big truck, why driving Le Mans is like having five shots of tequila before lunch, and what to do when you finally hang up your helmet-hat.

Critics' reviews
A riotous romp through the hedonistic corners of the F1 circuit
Very funny. This is Button unchained
A brilliant, flowing read
Button writes candidly and with great charm - with any luck we haven't seen the last of him either on track or in print
Fascinating. Jenson reveals how he swapped the "sticky floors" of rural Somerset nightclubs for glitzy Monaco.
Revealing. A fun and lively look at what it is to be an F1 driver
Das Buch generell ist gut, man bekommt viele Informationen über den F1-Zirkus. Da ich aber vorher direkt die Autobiographie gehört habe, hat sich vieles wiederholt. Trotzdem bereue ich nicht, das Hörbuch gekauft zu haben.
Jenson Button ist herrlich auf dem Boden geblieben, ironisch und selbstreflektiert. Das macht Spaß!
Interessant- aber nicht besser als Jenson Buttons Autobiographie

Zwei, drei mal unschöne Schnitte, bei denen die Tonlage sich ändert mitten im Absatz/Kapitel.
Für F1-Fans ein Genuss
