Alex Jacques is the voice of Channel 4's F1 protection within the UK and his commentary is carried on F1 TV within the US and world wide. He works alongside former F1 drivers David Coulthard and Jolyon Palmer.
Alex labored his approach up by F2 and the W Collection and by 2018 he was a full-time F1 commentator. He was voted Commentator of the 12 months within the 2022 Broadcast Sports activities Awards and his voice has appeared in Drive to Survive and F1 video video games.
Alex's new e book Grid to Glory highlights 75 key moments from F1's 75 yr historical past. But it surely's not one anecdote per yr, it's far more attention-grabbing than that. He describes the kidnapping of the F1 world champion driver, the day the F1 drivers went on strike, the grand prix that featured simply six vehicles and plenty of different nice tales.
