With victories in Canada, America and Hungary and Japan he led the World Drivers' Championship, right up to the last race of the season. But bare statistics alone do scant justice to the amazing impact Lewis Hamilton has had on the sporting landscape this year. My Story gives the real account from Lewis himself, as he sets the record straight about his colourful life on and off the track.Given a grounded upbringing by his dedicated father in unremarkable Stevenage, Lewis tells about how he first tried out go-karting while on a cut-price family holiday in Ibiza. In his book he gives the real version of events at a motor sport dinner where, as a nine-year-old wearing a borrowed suit, he approached McLaren team boss Ron Dennis with the immortal words that were to change his life forever.He rose rapidly through the Junior and Formula ranks, dominating every series with his raw speed and canny race craft. Here Lewis candidly recalls those key moments that shaped his career and went some way towards compensating for the sacrifices made by his father Anthony in getting his son to the top.Lewis also charts how he got into the sport and was signed up by Ron Dennis, what motivates him, who are his closest friends, how he copes with the constant travelling, and the physical and mental challenges of driving a state-of-the-art Formula 1 car. He looks back in detail at the 2007 World Championship - his four race wins, the frightening crash in Germany, his rivalry with team-mate Fernando Alonso, his special relationship with Ron Dennis, and what it's like living under the spotlight of the paparazzi - right up to the last race of the season in Brazil.

Zum Zeitpunkt seiner Präsentation 1955 war der Citroën DS gleichermassen Sensation und Faszination für Designer, Philosophen und Politiker. Kein anderes Fahrzeug vermochte Form und Technologie scheinbar mühelos so stimmig zu vereinen. Radikal in seiner Ausführung und revolutionär in Sachen Komfort und Sicherheit, ist der DS einer der innovativsten Design-Ikonen des 20. Jahrhunderts.In Kollaboration mit Lars Müller Publishers, veröffentlichte der Schweizer Architekt Christian Sumi 2001 eine neue Edition "AS in DS" (Alison Smithson in DS). In diesem neuen Werk, untersucht er die Charakteristiken dieses vollendeten Automobils anhand sorgfältig arrangierter Fotoserien und Zeichnungen von Falminio Bertoni und dem Citroën Designteam, die Innen und Aussenkonstruktion des DS detailliert aufzeigen. Mit Hilfe von Fotoessays der damaligen Werbekampagnen zum Citroën DS, analysiert Sumi dessen Ikonisierung, Wahrnehmung und Theorien, welche das Phänomen in einem zeitgenössischen und philosophischen gleichermassen kontextualisieren.

When Bruno Sacco walked through the doors on his first day at Mercedes-Benz on 13 January 1958, it is highly unlikely that his Daimler-Benz colleagues could ever imagine that this nervous young man would not only revolutionize design but would change the way design and innovation connected with brand tradition forever.  Bruno Sacco is one of the most influential automotive designers of the late twentieth century; many models launched during his era now characterize the Mercedes-Benz brand. When Nik Greene asked Bruno Sacco to assist with this book, he replied humbly "No-one designs a car alone, and more to the point, I never, for one minute, wanted to. From the moment I became Head of Design, I put down my pens and became a manager of minds." With over 330 photographs and illustrations, this book includes an overview of the early days of functional vehicle design and the influence of safety on design evolution. The protagonists of Daimler-Benz design from Hermann Ahrens to Paul Bracq are covered. Design philosophy and innovation under Bruno Sacco is discussed along with the Sacco-designed cars and, finally, the Bruno Sacco legacy.
