Man with the mic makes us all racing 'insiders'

From ITV to the Beeb to Sky, reporter Ted Kravitz looks back at his years on paddock duty - a true pro, says

Of late, there's been a steady trickle of hardbacks promising to take you inside the world of contemporary Formula 1.

Here's another, and the most engaging of the lot.

Sky F1 pitlane reporter Ted Kravitz is at first glance the 'F1 Insider' referred to in the title - although as it turns out, it's actually you, the reader, that Ted is talking about.

Twenty-four years since he first stepped in front of the camera, Kravitz maintains an earnest but genuine desire to make us all F1 insiders, via the insights he gleans in pits and paddocks around the world. It's no exaggeration to describe his approach to TV reporting as vocational even if Sky F1 colleague and ex-F1 driver Anthony Davidson reckons he's holding down "a made-up job".
