Connah's Quay Author Releases New Lewis Hamilton Book

DEESIDE, Wales - March 5, 2025 - PRLog -- Phil Woods of Connah's Quay is gearing up for the release of his fourth book. The comedy author has previously published his works alongside Steve Smith, his co-author  'Beat About the Bush – The funny side of language', 'The Daily Skid - The best bits' and children's book 'Grump Goes Shopping' (with amazing artwork by Gary Drew). This time z Phil case Phil has also been editor of 2 motorsport magazines, Podium Magazine and Pit Lane Reporter Magazine, he's been. He was a regular writer for Paddock Magazine.

On 10th March 2025, Phil will have his latest book published but this time he's aiming high, looking to crack open the champagne with a best seller. The subject matter of the book could be enough to sell a fair few copies. 'The Racing Biography of Lewis Hamilton' chronicles Lewis' rise from a childhood  karting star to the greatest Formula One star in history. The book follows him season by season right up to 2024, making it the most up to date book on the 7 time world champion.

Phil has been a fan of Lewis since he burst onto our screens as a rookie Brit in a McLaren at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne. Lewis raced to a podium finish in his McLaren taking 3rd place making him the first rookie to get a podium at their first race since 1996.

The book has been in the works for a while, with some time away from the book during Covid. Phil says "I would get my laptop out, write a bit and put it away, I did that over a number of years. It was a slow burner because of the amount of research needed to put a book like this together."

Despite having the word biography in the title, in theory it isn't a biography in the general sense of the word, it's more like a chronicle of his racing history, the good times and the bad. The publisher said, "This book captures the drama and can take you back to a moment in time, like his 1st title, all the drama of that last race in Brazil. Lewis needed to finish 5th, one place ahead of where he was on the last lap, but the weather had caught out the driver in front and Lewis on wet weather tyres made a move on the final corner of the final lap of the final race." Moments like this make up the majority of the book.

The book will be available from Amazon on 10//03/25
