This book is about the 1970 season, not one of Jackie Stewart's best. Car problems, a unbelievable demanding personal schedule, sponsor loss and negotiations with new ones. The loss of so many friends that year, 5 in all. That caused a lot of stress on him and his family, many of these of the driver and their wives were their very close friends. This took a toll on his performance and well being. The book gives a great insight into what the drivers were striving for as far as safety is concerns, with Jackie at the forefront of that issue. The behind the scenes of car preparation, design and testing. The off stage times and how he and his friend lived. Insights into the various F1 courses of that time period and how one raced each course. How he prepared himself for a race and routine before a race. A great read for anyone a fan of the late 1960s and early 1970s Formula One era.
