Synopsis

WATERSTONES' BEST BOOKS OF 2023: SPORT

A definitive and intriguing biography of Max Verstappen, Formula 1's superstar, Lewis Hamilton's great rival and the three-time winner of the World Drivers' Championship.

No Hollywood scriptwriter could possibly have envisioned the breathless, adrenaline-pumping climax to the 2021 Formula 1 season. On the very last lap of the final race of an unbelievably arduous and controversial season, Red Bull's Max Verstappen nervelessly overtook the seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes to clinch the first place that thrust the young prodigy to the narrowest of victories and to his first World Drivers' title. He followed up by taking the 2022 and 2023 titles as well.

Verstappen may only be 26 years of age, but the Dutch motorsport sensation has an incredible record in F1: this young man has already left an indelible mark on the sport. The son of F1 driver Jos, Verstappen junior quickly stepped out of his father's shadow: his youthful charisma, ferocious speed, fearless driving style and refusal to back down mark him out as a true champion. And the phenomenal success of Netflix's Drive to Survive documentary series has elevated his worldwide popularity still further.

Widely respected motorsport writer and F1 insider Mark Hughes is perfectly placed to write the most authoritative narrative on Verstappen's incredible rise through the ranks to F1 glory. Hughes' immaculate credentials and first-rate access enable him to generate fresh and fascinating insights, and to paint a fully-rounded and richly-textured portrait of one of the most exciting young sportsmen on the planet.

Christine Caine has a way of motivating you. I can just hear her voice speaking as I am reading this book. I love all the personal stories.......more

This is a good and inspiring book, about learning to accept the work that God has for you, and to accept when it is time to relinquish your grasp on that task. I had hoped to hear more stories and more details in the stories of captives set free, and like others, I did begin to cringe before the end......more

I really felt like I read this book exactly at a time when I needed to most. I had suffered a recent heartbreak and felt myself drooping, emotionally and spiritually. This book was like a breath of fresh air and my heart soaked up Christine's words. I loved this book.......more
