'Brilliant . . . the book breathes speed'
Clive James
'Remarkable'
Richard Williams, Guardian
Included in Book of the Year round-ups in:
The Times, Sunday Times, Daily Telegraph, Sunday Telegraph
2016 marked the twentieth anniversary of Damon Hill's coronation as Formula One World Champion. For the first time ever he tells the story of his journey through the sport when he took on the greats, including Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher, and emerged victorious as World Champion in 1996, stepping out of the shadow of his legendary father Graham Hill.
Away from the grid, Watching the Wheels is an astonishingly candid account of what it was like to grow up as the son of one of the country's most famous racing drivers. It also tells the unflinching story of dealing with the grief and chaos that followed his father's tragically early death in an aircraft accident in 1975, when Damon was fifteen years old.
Courageously honest, and hugely rewarding, Watching the Wheels is a return to the last golden era of F1 racing, whose image still burns ferociously for those who love the sport for what it reveals about human skill in the face of near-certain death.
