About
2017 marked a record-breaking year for Lewis Hamilton. Becoming only the fifth driver in history to win more than three World Championships, Hamilton joined the ranks of motor racing legends. Through in-depth race reports and analysis this audiobook will relive the dramatic race to the title. The list of Lewis Hamilton's accolades is seemingly endless. The Englishman now holds the outright record for the number of consecutive races in which he has led at least one lap. He has finished on the podium in more than half of the grand prix he has contested. No driver has started on the front row of the grid on more occasions. Hamilton is the only British quadruple world champion and, amazingly, the only black driver to have won a grand prix and championship. Such is the extent of his speed, ferocity and tactical skill on the track, that the 1996 world champion and Sky Sports commentator Damon Hill has called him, "one of the greatest, most talented drivers" ever to compete in the sport. Yet despite the countless awards and new records set, the 2017 season was full of challenges for Hamilton. From the testing extreme weather conditions in Shanghai to the opening lap mayhem in Singapore, there was little opportunity to take his foot of the pedal, not least because of his fierce rivalry with German star Sebastian Vettel which never dropped in intensity. Over the course of the past year, The Times and Sunday Times have closely followed every race, team and driver competing on the Formula 1 circuit. With unparalleled expertise and access, this audiobook will give a unique insight into the season, analysing Hamilton's performance and celebrating his astonishing road to success.
