Who Do You Think You Are... Michael Schumacher? by Ian Stafford
Bestselling author Ian Stafford has run, boxed, putted, rowed, wrestled and kicked balls with the finest sportsmen in the world. Which is why he finds the doubt about his driving technique particularly galling. After one too many arguments with his wife in the car, Stafford sets out to prove that he really is up there amongst the finest drivers in the world. The cast of characters reads like a Who's Who of Motor Racing: there is Bernie, Mansell and Brundle; Niki Lauda, David Coulthard and Juan Pablo Montoya; Jenson Button, Stirling Moss and Enzo Ferrari; not to mention Brad Pitt and George Clooney! But after the glamour of Monaco, the freezing temperatures of Schumacher's home town, the excitement of the first ever London Grand Prix, comes the more realistic view of life behind the wheel. Having seriously damaged his ego in a 4x4 in the States and crashed the car on a suburban school run, Stafford begins to wonder whether he hasn't bitten off more than he can chew by pledging to come face to face with Michael Schumacher. A brilliantly funny sporting adventure around the world with a much-loved writer.
