Description

Calling all petrolheads, Lights Out, Full Throttle is the riotously funny tour through the best, worst and downright outrageous of F1.

Shortlisted for the Telegraph Sports Entertainment Book of the Year Award

Johnny and Damon have become the one constant for passionate British 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.

From Monaco to Silverstone - discussing Johnny's crowdsurfing and Bernie's burger bar, the genius of Adrian Newey
and Colin Chapman, 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 a tumultuous year - Johnny and Damon assess the good, the bad and the ugly of the F1 enthusiast's paradise.

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 Hamilton will retire as the GOAT, Lights Out, Full Throttle gets you to the front of the grid without the inconvenience of having to leave your seat.



The Good, the Bad, and the Bernie of Formula One's cult double act.

About the Author

Damon Hill is a former Formula One World Champion who raced against some of the legends of the sport, from Ayrton Senna to Michael Schumacher. The son of racing legend Graham Hill, Damon entered Formula One in 1992, racing for Brabham and then Williams, and took over as team leader when Senna died in 1994. Having lost the 1994 World Championship to Schumacher by a single point, Hill was crowned World Champion in 1996. His autobiography Watching the Wheels was a Sunday Times number one bestseller.

Johnny Herbert is one of a small number of British drivers to have won a Grand Prix since the 1970s, tasting success with Benetton at Silverstone and Monza in 1995, then delivering a one-and-only top podium place for Jackie Stewart's team at the 1999 European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring. He also became the first active Formula One driver to win the endurance classic 24 Hours of Le Mans, with Bertrand Gachot and Volker Weidler in 1991, and has been a champion at karting, the Formula Ford Festival, Formula Three, the European Le Mans and the Speedcar Series in his long and varied career. His autobiography What Doesn't Kill You . . .was published to acclaim in 2016.

Herbert and Hill work together as pundits on Sky Sports' award-winning coverage of Formula One.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
