Basically, this is part two of Prof. Watkins's autobiography, covering the time from 1996 to the end of the season in 2000, and some memories of older drivers. The writing sounds like him, wry and unflappable, which makes sense if you're having to minister medicine to the speed freaks and weirdos
I'm giving the book an extra half a mark because the appendices actually covers the physics and anatomy of F1 injuries, and gives actual equations and numbers. I will always give extra marks for numbers.

involved in F1. It does lead to a certain distance, and it's less frantic than you'd imagine. But he's the Prof and we love him. I enjoyed the book but I'm not sure how much someone who isn't an F1 geek would get out of it. Then again, I'm not sure why someone who isn't interested in F1 would be reading this. Either way, I'm definitely going to try to get the first of his books, 'Life At The Limit'.I'm giving the book an extra half a mark because the appendices actually covers the physics and anatomy of F1 injuries, and gives actual equations and numbers.
