My Chequered Career: Thiry-five Years of Televising Motorsport Steve Rider

This is an engrossing, fast-paced read, written by well-known TV sports presenter Steve Rider. Rider's passion for motorsport has stayed with him from his first foray into sports reporting in 1978 for Anglia TV, through his time as one of the BBC's leading sports presenters and highly successful spells anchoring Formula 1 coverage for both the BBC and ITV. With plenty of page-turning appeal, Rider takes us through numerous illuminating experiences both on track and in the studio, recounting insightful and often amusing stories about the true greats he has encountered - from Ayrton Senna and Nigel Mansell to Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button.

Über Steve Rider

Steve Rider has been prominent in televised sport for over 30 years, for many years presenting the BBC biggest sports programmes - Grandstand, Sportsnight and BBC Sports Personality of the Year - as well anchoring coverage of Formula 1 and the Olympic Games. After leaving the BBC, he anchored ITV's Formula 1 coverage from 2006 to 2008. For 2012, he is back in Formula 1, as part of the Sky Sports team alongside Martin Brundle - a mark of the reverence in which he is held as a master of his craft.

Inhaltsverzeichnis

Published to coincide with the culmination of the 2012 F1 World Championship, during which Steve Rider will be part of Sky's TV coverage with Martin Brundle. Staring off in motorsport, making a documentary about the Lotus Formula 1 team in the year that Colin Chapman's team won the World Championship with Mario Andretti. In the studio with recently injured Frank Williams when Nigel Mansell's left-rear tyre famously exploded in the Australian GP of 1986, costing Mansell and Willliams the World Championship. The disaster of the first 'grid walk', hosted by Rider - and subsequently such a feature of TV coverage with Martin Brundle. Rider's awe of Senna: Ayrton Senna and Seve Ballesteros were the greatest sportsmen I've interviewed. Senna's death at Imola in 1994: nine hours of broadcasting that day and lead item on the BBC's evening news. Working with the troublesome James Hunt on the commentary team, including the day he didn't show up - which gave Martin Brundle his first chance in the commentary box. A memorable day with George Harrison for a documentary - and a unique chance to hear the Beatle's unpublished song about Formula 1: It was dreadful. New perspectives and absorbing anecdotes on many of the sport's headline stories over the past 35 years.
