Product Description

Product Description

First published by Partridge Press in 1999, this is the official behind-the-scenes story of Schumacher and Ferrari's 1998 Grand Prix season. In 1997 Schumacher became the first man to be removed from the championship results for unsportsmanlike driving. At the start of the 1998 season, he was an outcast, could he still win races?


From the Back Cover

Michael Schumacher is the outstanding Formula One driver of the 1990s. Gifted with that blend of superior ability and nerve that defines a champion, he has earned his place amongst the greats of the sport. But he is also a highly controversial figure - feared by his rivals as a ruthless, determined racer who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, and criticized on all sides for his unwillingness to admit mistakes.

Against the backdrop of Schumacher's quest to win the world championship for Ferrari, ITV's James Allen examines the contrasting sides of the man behind the headlines. With the full co-operation of Schumacher and the Ferrari team over two Grand Prix seasons, he tells the inside story of Schumacher's fall from grace following his cynical foul on Jacques Villeneuve at Jerez in the 1997 title decider, his doomed pursuit of the 1998 world championship and his astonishing comeback from a leg-breaking accident at Silverstone in 1999.

With exclusive insights into Schumacher's methods, both on and off the track, as well as a close look at the workings of the Ferrari team, this is the definitive book on Michael Schumacher - in every sense, a man driven to extremes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indespensable Book. An insight into the mind of Schumi., 7 Aug 2002
By Mr. SPF Rodrigues "Eyeball" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
From the moment I picked this book up I knew I was addicted to it. No other book I have read on Schumi comes close to this.
This book truly focuses on the mind, psychology and dicipline of the greatest driver of this era.
It also explains the relationships between himself and the people around him in fine detail.

For those who just love F1 or are Schumi fans, you have to read this one. I wouldn't have given it five stars since I am a critical person if the book was not that good. Go ahead, read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real insight into the real Michael Schumacher, 10 May 2000
By A Customer
This book provides a real insight into Michael Schumacher's life. It talks about his feelings both on and off the racing circuit, the importance of family life to him. It also goes into great detail about that controversial crash Jerez 1997. For those people who don't like Michael this book i'm sure will change your mind, you'll definitely realise he's just human, like the rest of us. Once you start reading this book you'll find it hard to put down.

5.0 out of 5 stars A solid, interesting read., 29 Jun 2007
By Sulman (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
Good F1 biographies are pretty rare - many of them are hack jobs written by journalists that turn these things out by the dozen. Surprisingly, this is very good. I'm not a particularly big Schumacher fan, but this is an excellent slice of history from an era where Schumacher was at his most controversial, and captures him at Ferrari just before the Brawn-Byrne-Schumacher-Todt regime became utterly dominant in the sport. Recommended.
