The Brawn Story: The Man and the Team that turned Formula 1 Upside Down by Christopher Hilton. In December 2008, Honda suddenly announced they were withdrawing from Grand Prix racing. The team faced oblivion, but their master on-track strategist, Ross Brawn, used all his tactical skills to put together a management buy-out - and Honda became Brawn. The team worked feverishly to fit Mercedes engines into the car and, with very little time to test it, took it to the season’s opener in Australia - and Jenson Button, their driver who’d waited a decade for a real chance, won like a champion. Button won five of the next six races, too, and he and Brawn bestrode Formula 1 in a way never seen before. This is the full story of Brawn - the man, his team and their season. Hardback 256 pages published by Haynes. Publication date 03/12/09. ****AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW, DUE EARLY DECEMBER, DESPATCHED IN TIME FOR XMAS.****

David Coulthard: It Is What It Is The Autobiography. From his quiet beginnings in rural Scotland to his multi-millionaire lifestyle in Monte Carlo, where he owns one of the most luxurious hotels in the principality, David Coulthard’s life story is an extraordinary one. He got his breakthrough into Formula One in the tragic circumstances of Ayrton Senna’s death in 1994, and quickly established himself as one of the best drivers on the circuit. From 1996-2004, he drove for McLaren, one of the leading teams throughout the entire period, before moving to Red Bull for 2005-07. Taking the reader from his early days when he first became hooked on racing karts at the age of eleven, through to the high-speed world of Formula One he now inhabits, Coulthard has written one of the most honest and powerful sports autobiographies of recent years. In the book, he talks about his ups and downs at McLaren, the reputation he gained for his playboy lifestyle and how hard this has made it for him to settle down. Throughout it all he seeks to answer the questions about himself that anyone might ask, and so to reveal what it is that really drives him on. His struggle to understand himself makes for a remarkable memoir. ****PLEASE ALLOW A FEW EXTRA DAYS FOR DELIVERY OF THIS ITEM.****
