With contributions from friends, rivals and admirers from across the world of motorsport, this fully illustrated biography charts his career, from his early days at the Fittipaldi F1 team, right up to when he left Red Bull in a blaze of publicity after his falling out with Christian Horner to join Aston Martin - with a rumoured £30m salary, plus bonuses... F1 is waiting to see if he can win a championship with a fourth team.
