This week we welcome Ted Kravitz, a bona fide sports broadcasting legend who has carved his own niche since 2001, patrolling the F1 pitlane for Sky Sports F1, BBC and ITV Sport.

His Ted’s Notebook segment on the Sky coverage is a must-watch for all fans of the sport, from the US to the UK, Australia and beyond.

He’s just released a new book, F1 Insider, telling his story as well as some great stories and anecdotes from his 25 years as the voice of the F1 pitlane.

James Allen, who mentored Ted early in his TV career, chats to him about the F1 personalities that have stood out, moments of high drama that he found himself in the middle of and the toughest moments he’s faced. Ted lifts the veil on how live F1 TV coverage works behind the scenes.

He also looks ahead to the final three months of the season and his gives thoughts the battle for the F1 drivers’ championship.

F1 Insider: Notes from the Pit Lane is out now, published by Octopus Books.
