Considering that he was writing about his career as a mechanic and a
substantial part of his career and success was AT Bennetton, what else
was he going to write about? Recipes for chicken?
Your post is useless. Idiot.

I also enjoyed "Life in the fast lane" by Steve Matchett. My favourite
title is "Formula One: Portraits of the Sixties" by Rainer
Schlegelmilch.

cheers,

uwe
