About the Book

Alex Yoong is the only man of Chinese decent and the first Malaysian ever to have driven in Formula 1.

This biography tells of the journey from a race-watching toddler to the most prestigious series in motorsport. From there, it charts his ongoing role as a Formula 1 pundit for ESPN, Star Sports and their 350 million viewers. It also explores his exciting new role as the Head of Driver Development in Formula 1’s new team, Lotus F1.

It’s been a tough journey.

Battling a false perception that he was gifted millions of tax payers’ dollars to drive under the Malaysian banner, how did he cope with the reality of having to beg and borrow, leaving him millions in debt?

Battling the Ferraris of this world for a team with the smallest budget and little hope of sustained success, how did he cope with a nation’s media that couldn’t understand why he was unable to win?

Battling his team mates, 2-time world champion Fernando Alonso and “Streetfighter” Mark Webber, how did he cope with the physical and mental trials needed to beat them?   

Find out in Alex’s own words and those who have known his life and times.
