Life at the Limits by Prof. Sid Watkins
I have just finished reading 'Life at the limits' by Professor Sid Watkins.
Very good accounts of F1 drivers such as Ayrton Senna, Ronnie Peterson, Didier Pironi and others. The book is anecdotes by Watkins, and his experiences at circuits between 1973 to date. tradegy is also covered in the book, including the deaths of Peterson, Senna, Paletti, and Gilles Villneuve (sorry about spellings). A great read, and I bought it from Waterstones for only £6.99 |

Actually I had expected more from the book. He probably did not mean it - as he is reportedly a wonderful person - but sometimes it comes close to an egotrip.

I totally 100% agree.
Strangely, I looked in BookWorld and Waterstones, both didn't have 'Beyond the Limit', but I bought it in WHSmiths! Not even a proper bookstore! |
