Publisher`s notes:
First NASA, now sports stars have abandoned Lunar orbit too. `Over the Moon`, long the chosen location for post-match bliss, has given way to `in the Zone`. Overdrive uses Formula 1 to show this is more than a cliche for a good day`s play.
Ayrton Senna once famously crushed the Monaco field while in an apparent trance. Drawing on exclusive interviews with 100 of the world`s quickest men - from Stirling Moss to Jenson Button Overdrive reveals all have shared aspects of Senna`s epiphany at their finest hours.
To ride on a thousand screaming horses may seem an unlikely source of inner peace but life at 200mph can lead to surreal effects from slow motion to journeys out of the body. This mystical Zone is accessible in any field but in motor racing only the masters tame it, bending time and space as they speed to Earthly laps of the gods.
Lewis Hamilton
'The aim is to be in the Zone every time you get in the car. But that day Ayrton Senna was somewhere else beyond the Zone. That`s heaven...`
Michael Schumacher
The pleasure comes from feeling exactly when you`re at the limit. When you keep it there for the entire lap or the entire race, that is the thrill.of racing.`
Fernando Alonso
`You arrive at a point where you feel you`re not in a Formula 1 car but a Scalextric. Winning a world championship leads to recognition and is good for self-confidence but inside your heart and your mind this feeling is better.`
