It’s me, Mark Stone, and in this episode of the Backseat Driver Podcast, I sit down with Alex Jacques, a highly respected voice in sports commentary, to explore his journey into the world of Formula One broadcasting.Alex shares how his early passion for motorsport, combined with a few unexpected twists of fate, steered him toward some of the most high-profile commentary roles in the sport. We examine the craft of sports journalism, the pressure of stepping into the shoes of iconic commentators, and the importance of bringing genuine emotion, insight, and authenticity to every broadcast.We also discuss Alex’s new book, Grid to Glory, which charts 75 pivotal moments in Formula One history. Through his storytelling, he connects the sport’s defining eras, giving fresh context to the moments that shaped F1 into what it is today.___https://pod.link/1656058575Visit our sponsorsGAZ Shocks 116 TrophyHodder TyresTarox BreaksSAS AutosListen Now Mentioned in this episode:Visit the Backseat Driver Podcast SponsorsGAZ Shocks -
