Jenson Button ; read by Jack Hawkins

Let's start with the basics: A helmet is not a hat and it's definitely not a 'helmet-hat'. The art of spraying champagne is all in the thumb. And never, ever buy a yacht. Ever. Nope. Stop it. In his 17 years as an F1 driver, Jenson Button has picked up a thing or two about how to do the job properly. Sure, you need to be able to drive a car fast, and Jenson is on hand to pass on a few tricks of the trade here, but you also need to know the real rules for making it to the top. Like how to tell a multiple-F1 champion they need to check their blind-spot. What the difference is between a helmet and a hat and indeed a 'helmet-hat'. How to practise your champagne spray ahead of the big day. Why it is never, ever, under any circumstances a good idea to buy a yacht. And how to face down your team when you've just stacked their multi-million-pound car into a wall during practice. Jenson lifts the lid on the people, the places, the weird rituals, the motorhomes, the media, the cars, the perks and the disasters
