This is a book I have just finished reading, about the way Formula One pilots regard the possibility of death in their sport. Apparently many pilots have premonitions and nightmares warning them of accidents and many of them ignore these and end up injured or dead ...
The best story in this book is about Didier Pironi (the snake) who after Gilles' death had a recurring nightmare in which he was standing on a Formula One track at night and Gilles' Ferrari dropped from the sky and crushed him. As he lay dying on the track, Gilles stood looking down at him, his face covered in blood ... And of course it was not Gilles' Ferrari that dropped from the sky and crushed Pironi - it was his own.
This is a great book but it is very spooky. If you haven't read it, you should read it. It's available at our bookstore.
