At times this read more like a history of F1 broadcasting in the UK, with Murray as an afterthought。 However, I still found it an interesting read and learnt quite a bit about Murray that I didn't already know。 At times this read more like a history of F1 broadcasting in the UK, with Murray as an afterthought。 However, I still found it an interesting read and learnt quite a bit about Murray that I didn't already know。 。。。more
