Summary
Here is the in-depth story of this phenomenon - from his upbringing on a Stevenage council estate to the day he first sat in a kart as a seven-year-old to his sensational challenge on the world title. Friends, colleagues, team-mates, rivals, chaperones and engineers who have worked with him here give some remarkable insights into Lewis the man and the driver, as well as into the close but complex relationship with father Anthony, the man who has largely steered his career. In the process, we see how F1 success has changed this young man's life in a very short space of time.
"'Lewis Hamilton is on the verge of Tiger Woods-like status: forget his skin colour, it's about the emergence of a phenomenon. He's in the process of transcending the whole sport, imprinting himself into the consciousness of people who would normally have little or no interest in Formula One.' The Sunday Times, April 15, 2007"

Great book
Enjoyed it! You don’t have to be a massive fan to enjoy it. If you have watched his interviews you would know he has such a great aura to him and the book gives you an idea why

Excellent
Full of facts about Lewis Hamilton and his journey to F1, although the end was quite brief. I really enjoyed this book

Great read
For the interested enthusiast this book gives a great background into the make up of Lewis. It covers his life up to the 'first' world championship in such detail you think you must have been there all the time yourself

Super read
The early life in particular is a great read given that most of the first season was seen by the world albeit new fans to f1 will surely enjoy that season explained too.
When you consider this was written long before he achieved his second world title (or even his first for majority of book) the view he is an equal to the likes of Senna and Schumacher could have been made to look foolish in time - but all hype has been backed up in subsequent years

A story of progressive winning, patience and persistence
This is a true story of the making of a champion. The book systematically shows how Hamilton progressively won his way to become a champion through hardwork, dedication and focus. The story of Hamilton as a racer and as a man is profoundly inspiring.

Gripping
Great account of early life and his first season in F1. Great to relive some of the moments from what was a very exciting season.

A great & inspiring read about a superb F1 force
So @LewisHamilton The Full Story by Mark Hughes. This is a stunning and compelling insight into the first black F1 driver and world champion. A well written piece of work that highlights the man's unique driving style and winning convictions. 📚 4.5/5⭐ #BookReview

dull and repetitive
the background of hamilton was good but the way it was written and narrated was terrible. the word devastating used in the wrong context way too much, the scores being read out after every race was really annoying. and the amount of times it said "lewis is a really nice guy" makes it seem like they are trying to force you to believe he is nice. the reality is he is a tell tale if it means gaining himself an advantage. disappointing he doesn't narrate in it either.
