Dear Nigel,
I thoroughly enjoy your column and Q&A section, but I am uncertain as to how your personal preferences impact on journalistic output. You often talk of Gilles and one can almost see the tears well up in your eyes, and one feels that you report he could do no wrong. Senna is often quoted by you as being the first of the bully barge boys on the track and yet I have just watched a video of Gilles repeatedly bouncing off a Renault! As your pieces are accepted as historical fact, is there room for revision of your perception of drivers? Jenks thought Senna was one of the F1 gods after all.

Two different sorts of racer
It’s been Formula 1 all the way for Nigel – he started covering the sport in 1971. In the mid-1970s he worked for Graham Hill’s Embassy F1 team, before joining Autosport for whom he has written over 400 Grand Prix reports. Nigel joined Motor Sport full-time on January 1 2008. As well as reporting on F1 for national newspapers, he has written 19 books on motor racing. His insightful writing and candid interviews with the great names in racing have made him one of the recognised authorities on F1.
