Publisher's Summary

Drawing on a lifetime of sniffing petrol fumes, Lights Out, Full Throttle stands large over the landscape of Formula One and takes the temperature of the good, the bad and the ugly of the petrolhead’s paradise.

Johnny Herbert and Damon Hill between them competed in 261 Grands Prix, amassing 25 wins, 49 podium finishes, one World Championship, 458 championship points, a Le Mans win, two smashed ankles, a broken arm, wrist and leg, 60 broken ribs and two bruised egos.

Having retired from racing, Johnny and Damon have become the one constant for passionate English F1 fans in a rapidly changing landscape. They have earned cult status as commentators and pundits, with viewers loving their unerring dedication to the sport’s greatness.

It offers F1 fans a tour of the sport - from Monaco to Silverstone, Johnny’s crowd surfing and Bernie’s burger bar, the genius of Adrian Newey and Colin Chapman, why Lewis Hamilton will never, ever move to Ferrari (probably), getting the yips, money, safety, what it’s like to have an out-of-body experience while driving a car in the pouring rain at 200 mph and the future of the sport in the wake of COVID-19 and Black Lives Matter.

Whether you’re a fan of Nigel, Niki, Kimi or Britney, pine for the glory days of Brabham, Williams, Jim Clark and Fangio, or believe that Lewis is one year away from retiring as the GOAT, Lights Out, Full Throttle is the oily rag for the petrolhead fan to inhale while waiting for the racers to line up on the grid.

entertaining and full of great stories

loved this! entertaining narration (albeit a tad on the corny side at times - but I loved that) with great insights and history from their careers as f1 drivers and pundits. they have great chemistry and fun stories to share. would be a nice gift for any f1 fan who is interested in f1 history with a little harmless gossip tossed in for fun.
