Beautiful artistry on show by @ScuderiaFerrari by the incredible talent that is Cammo, staple of Marvel studios and who, incidentally, illustrated my book @GreatestDefeat. Always a joy to see his work shared and loved.

Amazing throwback livery for @JimmieJohnson, harking back to a time in his career and a moment on the Baja that defined the man behind the visor and created the champion we know. A story he gracious shared for “My Greatest Defeat,” available now in the US

@A7X_foREVer93 @wbuxtonofficial Get better soon!

[Clyde Brolin @clydebrolin]

We all learn much more from defeat than victory, even apparent 'superheroes'. Now @wbuxtonofficial's new book @GreatestDefeat lets us in on the lessons motor sport's all-time greats took from their darkest hours. Engrossing, wise, powerful…

A few days before his 80th birthday, very touched to see @Independent feature some quotes from Sir Jackie Stewart’s chapter in today’s paper.

Amazed and so grateful to see My Greatest Defeat sitting in the top 500 books on @AmazonUK for the last 48 hours since launch. We’re so appreciative of your feedback and would love to read your reviews.

It’s publishing day! We want to take this moment to thank all the drivers whose honest and beautiful stories built our book. To @EvroPublishing for creating such a lovely thing. And to all of you for your support along the path to today. X

Fascinating and inspirational. Good work @wbuxtonofficial

[My Greatest Defeat @GreatestDefeat]

Honoured that, in tribute to Niki Lauda, extracts from his chapter will appear in today’s @thetimes.

[My Greatest Defeat @GreatestDefeat]

I hope he knew, though, how much his bravery translated to so many others. How he inspired millions. And how widely he was loved. Even by those who never had the incredible fortune to meet him.

[My Greatest Defeat @GreatestDefeat]

Niki’s honesty in talking about how his lowest moment had shaped him was the inspiration for My Greatest Defeat. He never knew this. His copy, which I sent yesterday and which would have explained how important his role was in its writing, will likely arrive at his home tomorrow.

[Will Buxton @wbuxtonofficial]

I thought you were invincible

Farewell Niki
