Neste livro escrito pelo próprio Lewis em 2007 é como uma viagem no tempo, àquele ano na Formula 1, à vida de Lewis e toda a sua trajetória até aquele momento. I found I had a talent and I have worked as hard as possible to develop it so that I can be successful and in the process inspire others, if I can, to achieve a dream.

I love Lewis Hamilton, believe me I do and I also believe that he is ONE of the greatest drivers to ever race in formula one. He has unbeatable records and such great race moments that would still give you goosebumps if you look back at them.At the time of this writing (Dec 2020) he has most individual race wins in F1 (95) vs M Shumacher's 91. I started out just hoping to learn a lot, to challenge Fernando and to prove I was worth my seat in the team.

The pressure, the expectation, the hunger and the humility are all articulated in this honest account. I know all of this is not something that can be achieved in one year, as it takes time to evolve – especially if you are striving to become the best in the world. Nobody would have predicted that I would finish second in my first season, so there was no reason for anything but celebrations.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Reading his book makes you realize even more of how good of a person he truly is and how well his parents raised him. The test at Silverstone – only a year before I flew to Japan and China for the two Grands Prix that lifted me within reach of the title and then dashed my hopes – was the best week of my life at the time.

Nic was born two months early and it was a long time after his birth – I think nearly eighteen months – before he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. I know that he cannot do things as well as me but he has a real good go at it and makes me work even harder to make sure I beat him.

From this book, I can learn that no matter what conditions, if people work hard, dreams will come through. I am looking forward to his real post-carreer autobiography however as I believe he might be more open about certain controversies and events in it that this telling of his junior and rookie years. I was only eleven and heavily into my karting by then, going to race tracks at weekends and having a great time. That accident was a shaker for me, a reminder of what these cars can do and it was a big part of my early learning experience with the team.
