Product Description

Product Description

Foreword by Sir Jackie Stewart Jo Ramirez is one of the best-liked and most respected Formula 1 personalities of recent years, and is held in high esteem both inside and outside the Grand Prix paddock. Here is his personal account of his life in motor racing, told with humour, warmth and joy, and providing an honest insight into the highs and lows of a career that saw him work with many of the sport's greatest heroes, although he is perhaps best known for his many years as Team Co-ordinator at McLaren, including the legendary Prost/Senna era. A compelling story that will delight all fans of motor racing.


About the Author

Jo Ramirez is now enjoying his retirement, but keeps in regular touch with his many friends and former colleagues in motorsport. He divides his time between his homes near Oxford in the UK and Malaga in Spain.

5.0 out of 5 stars From another racing man, 20 Oct 2005
By A Customer
Great guy, great book. It was a priviledge to work with him for 17 of his 18 years at McLaren. To an insider, no surprises, but admiration for Jo having the courage to write the bad as well as the good, in fact the truth. No one is spared. For anyone with an interest in the sport (which it once used to be) Jo's chronicle of some 30 years involvement is a MUST READ.
