Book description
Formula One Grand Prix mechanic Steve Matchett takes the reader on a
compelling journey through his life in the pit-lane, from his beginnings
as a young apprentice, through his time at Ferrari and BMW to his later
success with Benetton. He gives eye-witness views of the great drivers,
including Michael Schumacher, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost and Ayrton
Senna. He also talks of key Benetton personalities, and explains how the
team was transformed into a strong, competitive organisation, winning
three World Championships. His determination and frustration in trying -
and eventually succeeding - to break into the high-pressure world of
Formula One leaps off the page.
