Jo Ramirez is one of the most-liked and respected Formula One personalities. Jo Ramirez is the updated second edition of his popular autobiography, first published in hardback in 2005, is his personal account of 40 years in motor racing, rising from mechanic to senior team management at McLaren. Jo's remarkable CV also includes spells with Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Dan Gurney's All American Racers, Porsche Gulf Sport and Tyrrell.

Writing with humour, warmth and joy, Jo Ramirez gives an honest account of the highs and lows in a career that saw him work with many of the sport's greatest heroes including Pedro and Ricardo Rodriguez, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna and Mika Häkkinen. Since retirement Jo has continued his close involvement with motorsport, and he rates competing in the Carrera Panamericana as 'the best week of the year'.

Here is Jo's story in his own words:

On Ayrton Senna

He wasn't just the best racing driver - a real poet in the art - he was a great personality, and we inherit his example and a world of memories.

On The FIA

The FIA continues to impose its authority in a dictatorial and patronising manner, showing no consistency when issuing fines or penalties, and taking the fun out of the sport.

On Bernie Ecclestone

A small man with a big brain who has done much for the sport.
