Gene, earned a sole point at the Nurburgring in the European Grand Prix, thus gaining one more point than he was expected to do.
Arguably his major asset to Minardi was the vast amount of sponsorship he attracted to the team, although the one point was a bonus.
He has experienced a chequered career in his forming years with a string of karting successes in his homeland. Made the natural step up to Formula Ford racing and then chanced his arm in the British Formula Three Championship. He failed to win any titles and actually did not gain a single win in Britain on the Formula Three circuit, although he was studying in England at the time.

order to help us understand the Selfish Gene concept. Some of these you will already be familiar with, such as cuckoos laying eggs in the nests of other birds, and so you will feel very intelligent from understanding what Dawkins is saying when he steps it up a level.
The book is aimed at students from the age of roughly 17-20 odd, and it helps if you have a biological background. However, such is the skill of Dawkins' writing, it is not essential.
I ver much reccommend the second edition to this book, published almost 20 yearslater I believe, in which he goes through with endnotes explaining further some points, and defending his work from other authors in other points. Of course, there is also the addition of two extra chapters.
