Not sure how famous, my own mom gets me and the dog confused on a fairly regular basis. Its all good until she tries to put me in the kennel. Then it gets a bit awkward Read more

Of course you’re right the FIA and the driver stewards made up of a panel ex F1 and Le Mans drivers clearly doesn’t understand anything about the sport which is why they keep penalizing other drivers. Read more

If you watch the interview Nico specifically said that the brake issue did not cause him to run into Lewis. He said that he was blocking Lewis. The FIA which has all of the data from each car has found Nico at fault so siding with Nico is basically ignoring all of the facts to fit a preconceived result Read more

Yes he was on the inside but that doesn’t allow you to just take any line you want once the following car has almost completely passed you as there is no Read more

And as I told my girlfriend when I went to race Pikes Peak. “If I die on the mountain, don’t say “Well at least he died doing what he loved”. I do not love falling off the side of a mountain... Read more
