It's often said that in Formula One you meet a better class of person at the back of the grid. For all that Kris makes out he's the Mr Bean of the paddock, he's actually a solid bloke and much appreciated. If you want a different take on the mad, mad world that is F1, this is the book for you.

I first encountered Kris at BSkyB in London when his career was on a terminal downhill trajectory, so it was a huge surprise to meet him again in the Formula One paddock. Like a durable (but blistered and slow) hard compound tyre, he somehow kept going when he should have been black-flagged long ago. This book is an exhaustive compendium of how not to make sports television. Read it at your peril.

Kris may claim to have no idea what he's doing, but he somehow lasted this long, so I have my suspicions. This book shows that many of the F1 paddock's weird and wonderful personalities have hilarious failings and, like Kris, needed more than a few lucky breaks to make it. This book provides a unique angle on the glamorous, intriguing and outlandish world of Formula One.

Formula One is a travelling circus with hundreds of people making the show happen. Having taken time to think back over the many characters I have met in the sport, I have no hesitation in saying that Kris, unequivocally, is one of them!

Kryslexia: a learning difficulty that drastically impairs the skills required for the accurate reading, writing and speaking of Spanish, resulting in a hilarious vocabulary.

TV crews in the F1 paddock work under extreme pressure and every second counts. When I am preparing my technical demonstrations, I am often working against the clock to get ready for the live broadcast. It's a relief to know that Kris is there solving problems with a smile and positive energy, even if he seems to be running around like a headless chicken. I hope you enjoy the book.

Kris is hard to keep up with as he zooms round the paddock at warp speed, but on the rare occasions when the job allows, he's outstandingly cool company too!

Kris, the man with the cap, is one of the friendliest and most helpful people in the paddock. He always has time for everyone. No matter how hectic or stressful the situation, he is always calm and kind.

Had I known half of what I learned reading these hilarious, hair-raising stories, I would have fired Kris years ago!
