This eagerly awaited book is the first real insight into racing's hottest property that describes how racing phenomenon Lewis Hamilton becomes the first black racer to penetrate the heady heights of the most glamorous of sporting arenas.

While other books regurgitate what many readers already know about the new F1 star, sports author Brian Belton has written a book that cuts deep into the world of motor racing.

Unlike others, Belton does not shy away from analysing the place of a black driver in a very white sport, exploring his motivations and strategy as a racer and a man and how the Hertfordshire Hurricane has lit up the Grand Prix universe for a whole new public that he now promises to be one of the greatest names in British motor sport history, creating possibilities for many who would not dared to dream they even had a chance of living the dream.
