Our new 'Can't put it down' book on Mike is selling out!


With Lewis Hamilton now British World Champion, the BBC One Show Monday 3rd Nov at 7pm featured Mike Hawthorn
who was our first British World Champion exactly 50 years ago! Select above for some photos from the recording session...

And the book launch took place very successfully on the 20th November 2008 - we had a message from Lewis Hamilton
that was read out by McLaren's Technical Director - see the letter and some photos on our Book Launch page

There is also a news page with a shortened video for the Mike Hawthorn book on BBC NEWS
