Beschrijving uitgever
Jake Humphrey had one of the best jobs in the world: flying around the world presenting Formula 1 to 6 million people is not a bad occupation. And there is plenty that the viewer doesn't get to see, quite a lot of it rather surprising too. Travelling around the globe in the F1 bubble, Jake brings the reader close to the action. With his unique access to the key characters in the sport, he reveals a side of figures such as Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher and Bernie Ecclestone not seen before.
From techie heaven driving the Red Bull simulator to witnessing moments of great sporting triumph, Jake brings you behind the scenes in the paddock to behold the changing face of F1 and his life as a TV presenter permanently walking the tightrope of public humiliation.
Klantrecensies
Resume of races
The book is an interesting résumé of different races and the stories behind the scenes. However, if you follow the races every weekend, there is little new. On the positive side it is nice to ready now we all wait for the new season. On the less positive side the book has little 'red line' and is merely full of statements and opinions which a repeated randomly. I increased to two stars as I did get to the end of it, which I do not manage for a one star book.
However, I have truly enjoyed the author presenting F1, and think he is one of the best doing so and I will miss him. His move is a great loss for the sport!
