Publisher's summary

Those who reach the top of their profession, especially those who are in the entertainment industries or athletics, are often subjected to a ton of media interference that covers not only their professional life but their personal life as well. Because of this, some choose to remain very private, keeping part of their life separate from the public face that they put on, and they do whatever they can to make sure they have some sense of privacy in their lives. Despite this, there is often an intrusive and intense pressure that can sometimes bring to light some of the parts of these celebrities’ lives that they would rather not want to share. Others don’t care as much and decide to be somewhat open about what they are going through and what life is like. Either way, those who are in the limelight must learn to give and take with the media, find a way to persevere in order to get to the top of their career, and make sure that they consider carefully what image they are portraying in the media since there are many eyes watching. In racing, one of the top names, if not the top name, in the industry right now belongs to a young man who is trying to strike just that sort of balance. Although he has taken the racing world, particularly in the Formula One realm, by storm, he has had his share of media complications that he’s had to deal with. However, for Lewis Hamilton, finding the right words in front of the cameras is only part of the struggle that he goes through under the scrutiny of being one of the top racers in the world today.
