Autorenporträt
Billy Monger, nicknamed Billy Whizz, has loved racing ever since his dad bought him his first go-kart at the age of two. Together, the father-son team conquered the world of junior racing before stepping up to F4. But a horror crash left Billy facing surgery to amputate both of his legs. Remarkably, Billy not only returned to race, but also won in the higher graded F3. His story of determination, resilience and optimism struck a chord with the general public and earned him the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Helen Rollason Award in 2018. Now aged twenty-five, Billy's interests have gone beyond racing. He still works as a pundit for F1, but he's also appeared on shows such as Strictly Come Dancing and Race Across the World, and had two BBC documentaries made about his life: Driven and The Race is On. After taking up running, cycling and swimming, he's now an ironman world-record holder, for which he's been made a Guinness World Record Icon. He has now set his sights on competing at the 2028 Paralympics. He's also raised more than £4.5 million for Comic Relief along the way. Seth Burkett grew up in Stamford, Lincolnshire. Aged eighteen he moved to Brazil to play professional football. His first book, The Boy in Brazil, documents a remarkable season in Sorriso and was shortlisted for the 2015 British Sport Book Awards. Following this, Seth developed a career in writing which has seen him publish eleven books. He has written for adults and children, and has also ghostwritten books for coaches, footballers and YouTubers.
