LEWIS HAMILTON
THE STORY SO FAR

Gareth Rogers


ISBN: 978-0-7524-4480-2 Paperback: £8.99

Publication date: 25th October 2007

2007 has seen a twenty-two year-old novice set the world of Formula One alight with his confidence, skill and most of all, his ability to win. Spotted by Ron Dennis at the tender age of twelve, this young man from Hertfordshire burst onto the F1 scene and became the youngest driver to top the championship. Responsible for thrusting the sport back into the limelight, Hamilton is quickly establishing himself as the sporting world’s hottest young star.

This year’s F1 season has witnessed countless thrills and spills: an espionage scandal involving McLaren and rivals Ferrari and a sometimes fractious relationship between Hamilton and Alonso are among the stories to hit the headlines in recent months. But the biggest story of all is Hamilton himself. Britain’s young sporting hero and the first ever black man in F1 history now seems set to dominate the circuit for years to come.

Featuring fellow Formula One greats such as Sir Stirling Moss and Bernie Ecclestone, experienced sports author Gareth Rogers brings us Hamilton’s sensational story so far.
