Dear Nigel,
Of all the drivers you have known over the years, who enjoyed the act of driving fast the most? Not the winning, but the actual experience of driving. In simpler terms, who was most likely to get out of the car at the end of a race, regardless of where they finished, with the words “That was fun!”?

Mark Webber and Lewis Hamilton came to Spa 1-2 in the World Championship, and although Hamilton superbly won the race, and regained the points lead, Webber wasn’t too upset, for he finished second – and none of the three other title contenders scored at all.
It was a typically capricious… Read more

Shades of Imola ’82?
Dear Nigel,
I would love to hear your thoughts/opinions on Lewis Hamilton. For me, his raw talent, driving style and never-say-die attitude are strongly reminiscent of Gilles Villeneuve – I hope this is not being sacrilegious to you as I know you and Gilles were close. Anyway, at Istanbul, watching the pass on Lewis by Jenson Button when the former was clearly assuming a ‘hold station’ situation was in play, Lewis’ subsequent downbeat/subdued attitude on the podium was very reminiscent of Imola ’82… Thanks for the great articles and podcasts!

Anyway… enjoy and… Read more
