Damon Hill Knihy

It's fast, it's furious, and it's dramatic. Formula One is the pinnacle in four-wheeled motor sport. Yet it's more than just man and machine pitched into contest at 16 points around the globe; it's about personalities, multi-million dollar budgets, and a story line that wouldn't disgrace a soap opera. This encyclopedia is the most comprehensive illustrated work of Formula One reference, covering every facet of Grand Prix racing from the start of the modern-day Formula One Championship in 1950 to the present day.

F1: Through the Eyes of Damon Hill is the dramatic behind-the-scenes story of the world of Formula One racing. It is a story of global proportions, deep human feelings and sporting magnificence which sweeps from the season-opening Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne through to the grand finale in Japan, where the nine-month season ends. In his own words, Hill charts the roller-coaster emotions and excitement of the marathon 16-race Grand Prix circus. He describes the strains, and pressures behind the garage doors; the massive effort required to revive a title challenge with his new Jordan team, the fears and thrills. Brilliantly illustrated, here is the world's fastest, most seductive - and expensive - sport as it really is. From the clamour and glamour of the pit lane to the privacy of the motor home, Damon Hill describes what it feels like to compete with Schumacher, Coulthard, Villeneuve and others for the 1998 Formula One World Championship. This is no 'Diary of a Season' fanzine but an intensely personal, thematic account of the most seductive sport of all - its rivalries the crucial importance of technology, and the pencil-thin margin between the chequered flag and failure.

'My Championship Year' is the dramatic behind-the-scenes story of Damon Hill's 1996 Formula One World Championship challenge - a tale of recovery, determination and effort, and a fascinating insight into his transition from challenger to winner.
