Chapter 19 1994 – A Brief Overview of F1’s Darkest Season
Since 2015 I’ve been researching all the books, internet sources and magazines (Autosport, F1 News and Motor Sport) covering 1990’s F1. Furthermore I’ve interviewed various key figures employed by Benetton, Ford Electronics and Williams. In addition, I’ve studied all the on track action from time – simply because I love reliving that era of F1. This book & its short stories listed above are the fruits of all that hard work and research.
As a devoted Formula 1 fan, I thought I knew everything about the sport from the 1990’s before starting this project. But since interviewing those involved it soon became apparent how much had yet to be made public. I’ve resigned from my day job purely to write this book. That is h

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The content is very interesting and I learned things that I didn't know. The author has done a very credible job with his research. The downfall of this audiobook is the narration. The author reads it himself and unfortunately, he doesn't have the vocal skills. His enunciation is horrible, slurring, lisping and just generally making some words almost impossible to understand. Even taking in to account that the British and US have different ways of pronouncing some words, he butchers some words very badly. It is also clear that he didn't practice much before they recorded. I really don't intend this review to be a hatchet job on the author, because he produced a very interesting book, but I suggest that he doesn't do the narration for the next one. I fully intend to check out his other books, but it looks like he narrates those as well, so I will just read them.
