An Independent Man: The Autobiography
July 1, 2014
Thanks to a very close friend of mine who is also a big Formula One fan like myself, I have been looking forward to reading this book and recalling and hopefully learning more about Eddie's time as a team owner in the sport in his own words.
The narrative style that is adopted throughout the novel is very comfortable, friendly and it feels that your having a honest and humble conversation with the man himself.
The autobiography starts with his journey into becoming a racing driver and the hardships and challenges that he faced during this time (with a few serious crashes along the way!) before making the switch to running his own racing team.
I have to say that throughout the autobiography, it is really refreshing to see an 'underdog' such as Eddie make the best of chances and opportunities throughout his time as a team owner in Formula One and achieve his dreams.
Jordan very successfully shows through his dealings with drivers such as Jean Alesi, Martin Brundle and Michael Schumacher allows F1 fans and the readers to explore a hidden world into a sport that keeps it's doors fully closed.
Alongside this, Jordan also shows in my opinion how his personality helped him achieve what he did in the sport, he still managed to keep his personality, loyalty and respect for everyone he dealt with or spoke with during his time in the sport. How many people could you say that about?
For me, the two niggles I had was his over use of the words 'nevertheless' or 'furthermore' and also some of his amazing encounters could have been explored a little bit further for me. But apart from these, I really did enjoyed the book immensely, I learnt a lot from the book and also my respect for him has increased.
Many people believe that Eddie is a bit of a joker but there is no denying that he has achieved a lot in the sport and has done it in the only way he knows how; which is being himself.
And there is no denying that he did that during his years in Formula One and still does to this day as a commentator with the BBC and it's coverage on Formula One.
But if you wanna learn more about the sport or about the man himself, I would urge you to read this book.
