Gerhard Berger: The Human Face of Formula 1 - Hardcover

Tells the story of Gerhard Berger, one of the best racing drivers in the world, on viveur and prankster who, in the ruthlessly competitive world of Formula 1, is universally liked. The book offers a revealing insight into a racing driver whose talent and determination are equalled by his charm. This book describes near-tragic events such as the road crash which almost paralyzed him just when he had reached Formula 1, and the fire at Imola which it seemed no one could survive. It reflects on dramas such as the misunderstanding with Ricardo Patrese in Portugal in 1992. It also provideds a career history, including the tumult of racing Alfa Suds, the adventure into European Formula 3, and the cut-and-thrust of touring-car racing. Christopher Hilton, a former "Daily Express" Sports Reporter, has written seven motorsport books, including biographies of Senna, Mansell, Prost and Hailwood, and four novels.
