"In 1996 Jacques Villeneuve, driving brilliantly in a Rothmans Williams Renault, made a sensational debut in Formula I racing, the sport in which his father was killed in a Ferrari in 1982." "On a race-by-race basis Jacques describes his wheel-to-wheel confrontations with the top drivers in the world, among them his celebrated Rothmans Williams Renault team mate, Damon Hill, and the brilliant Ferrari driver and reigning World Champion, Michael Schumacher. Unphased by such illustrious competition, Jacques became a winner in only his fourth Grand Prix and sped relentlessly onward to establish a brilliant record of success." "Beyond the racing action Jacques provides exclusive insights into his private life, on Grand Prix weekends around the world and at his home in Monaco. His thought-provoking personal philosophy of life and his unique forms of private pleasure (including writing his own music and lyrics) reveal an intimate portrait of one of the most fascinating and charismatic sporting personalities to come along in years."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
