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!”?

“Not bad for a number two driver,” was Mark Webber’s cryptic comment over the radio on his victorious slowing-down lap, and thereby hung a tale.
