Great Listen

I love that Steve Matchett narrated this book. The narration takes you right away into the life & work of an F1 race mechanic. If you're a F1 fan or are just curious about what's going behind the "poshness" of F1, this is all you can ask for and more.

Amazing to understand the inner workings.

I found it extremely informative and interesting to find out the inner workings of an F1 team. Steve Matchett does an amazing job of telling a story and also narrating this book. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in formula 1.

Interesting story of a F1 Team

This was interesting to me as a F1 fan, but I think he goes off piste at times and waffles and pads the narrative.

love Steve's knowledge

dated with a little to much complaining. good insights, believe it could be updated to include current times

loved it!

Please keep writing and narrating! I would be very interested to hear you narrate another book.
