Synopsis "Starting from the Back of the Grid: Misadventures Inside Formula One's Flying Circus"

The hilarious and endearing story of how an academic flop with a prodigious talent for getting into embarrassing situations somehow succeeds in the glamorous world of Formula One. The author, a TV producer and occasional cameraman, gives a distinctive perspective on F1's Flying Circus, up close and personal with motorsport legends, A-list celebrities and the super-rich. He tells of his encounters with its greatest drivers and most intriguing behind-the-scenes personalities, and recalls the sport's rivalries, tragedies and scandals. He charts his own comedic career path from rough sleeper on a rubbish tip in Hong Kong to the paddock in Monte Carlo where his first words to Michael Schumacher caused the racing legend to inflate with rage. But a few traumatic days later he is sipping champagne high above the track on race day. If you love Formula One and have a sense of humor, you will want to read this book.
