Description: First edition first print hardback of WATCHING THE WHEELS (My Autobiography) by Damon Hill and published by Macmillan in 2016. Signed to a previous owner by Hill on the title page. Full numberline is 1 3 5 7 9 8 6 4 2. The book is in near fine condition (black cloth boards with silver lettering to spine) with just a tiny bit of rubbing to edges and corners and very light foxing to page edges, barely noticeable. The book is in a near fine unclipped dust jacket which has light creasing to edges. Internally the pages are otherwise clean and tight and there are no tears or other inscriptions. Watching the Wheels: My Autobiography is an astonishingly candid account of what it was like to grow up as the son of one of the country's most famous racing drivers. It also tells the unflinching story of dealing with the grief and chaos that followed his father's tragically early death in an aircraft accident in 1975, when Damon was fifteen years old. Formula One drivers have always been aware of their mortality, and the rush that comes with the danger of racing was as intoxicating for Hill as it had been for his father's generation, until he came face-to-face with catastrophe when his team-mate, Ayrton Senna, was killed in 1994. The swirling emotions that Hill was faced with in light of the death of Senna was a defining moment for his generation of drivers and for the first time ever Hill talks candidly about the impact that Senna had on his life, even as he watched his own son step into motor racing. 358 pages including Acknowledgements ISBN: 9781509831906
