Lights Out Full Throttle

‘F1’s answer to Ant and Dec,’ says the intro, but that does Messrs Herbert and Hill a disservice. This is like an evening at the pub with two insightful F1 characters and they are both: insightful and characters. Frank and forthright, yet shot through with genuine knowledge, it’s like reading the transcript of an entertaining podcast as the conversation flows across 21 chapters, from Monaco to Bernie to wider subjects such as fame, dotted with gags and jibes at each others’ and their own expense. JP £20 Johnny Herbert and Damon Hill, Macmillan. ISBN 9781529039993
