About this listen

For nearly forty years he has ruthlessly exploited and dominated Formula One motor racing, and now he is setting his sights further afield.... This is the true story of Bernie Ecclestone, the street-smart, working-class kid who masterminded the transformation of Formula One from an amateur sport of the fifties into a global billion dollar industry of the 21st century.

Now, with his GBP2.5bn fortune, influence and power, Bernie has moved into the world of football with Renault F1 boss Flavio Briatore to turn Queen's Park Rangers, a struggling west London club, into a serious rival to the capital's glamour club, Chelsea. To many he was the saviour of Formula One, but there are also those who came into conflict with his methods. They have a different story to tell. Bernie Ecclesone, King of Sport reveals the unbridled avarice, callousness and corruption behind the hype of Formula One - and the warts-and-all character of the man who is now making his mark on the beautiful game. This is the true, astonishing story of the single most powerful man in thew world of sport today.

Great story a little difficulty working your way around the figures. A great business man very ruthless. The narrator speaks a little slow sounds better if speeded up to 1.1

Great Story

Very interesting story about the enigma of Bernie, but terrible narration by this guy, makes it difficult to get used to.

Great story, terrible narration.

An interesting story but the narration was appalling.

For some reason at the end of each chapter some music appeared over the narration so you miss the last few sentences

Interesting story but poor delivery

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I genuinely thought this was done by a low quality text to speech engine. The general lack of emotion in the narration borders on comical.

Ruined by narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

This book is appallingly read - by far the worst I have ever heard. Quite how the issuing company released this is beyond comprehension - don’t waste your money on it

Interesting story BUT…..
