Steve Rider begins his story in 1978 when, as a young reporter for Norfolk-based Anglia Television, he made a documentary about the 'local' Formula 1 team, Lotus, which was then at the height of its success and that year won the World Championship with Mario Andretti. Rider recounts tales of happy associations with Mario, including an unconventional journey together in the author's old DAF road car, as well as his difficult dealings with Colin Chapman and the dark conclusion of Ronnie Peterson's death at Monza in the Italian Grand Prix, where the final parts of the documentary were filmed. With plenty of page-turning appeal, Rider then takes us through numerous illuminating experiences both on track and in the studio over the years that followed, recounting many insightful and often amusing stories about the true greats he has encountered - from Ayrton Senna and Nigel Mansell to Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-highlights\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to enjoy: 272 pages · Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy Steve Rider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-details\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780857332738\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steve Rider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 September 2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-about\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteve Rider · Publisher: Haynes Publishing UK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/books.google.co.uk\/books?id=3FNNLgEACAAJ\u0026amp;dq=isbn:9780857332738\u0026amp;hl=\u0026amp;source=gbs_api\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMore about this book\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-reviews\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eThis is a fascinating and fast-paced read by a well-known TV sports presenter with a particular passion for motorsport.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"J H Haynes \u0026 Co Ltd","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":53353518825736,"sku":"9780857332738-NewItem","price":43.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/5297\/7928\/files\/standardized_d29878fbe411ac8c9cef05e98fa11710.jpg?v=1771525568","url":"https:\/\/www.azbooks.co.uk\/products\/9780857332738","provider":"AZ Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
