At one point, they had to borrow a tyre pressure gauge from the Eurobrun team!

Father to Son - Queen

Ironically, that would not have happened if the Monaco GP had run its full distance. Even if Senna had passed him, Prost would have received 6 points for second place rather than 4.5 for a "half...

Rocky Racoon - The Beatles

Yes, any car which was as fast as the McLarens would have been less reliable, and any car which was as reliable would finish at least a lap down.

I would also add Carlos Reutemann to the list of greatest "non champions".

Ogre Battle - Queen

Yes, he got the odd mention in the article!

By 1978, Ronnie was really beginning to mature as a driver, and was becoming more the complete package, as opposed to the ultra-quick charger he had previously been characterised as. He no doubt saw...

Capelli was occasionally a bit "hit and miss" whilst at Leyton House, and he jus didn't seem to be psychologically equipped to withstand the pressure of driving for Ferrari. A few observers suggested...

Yes, the relevation that he "changed" his personality after the accident was new to me. I only really started following his career in the aftermath of the crash.

There was an excellent interview with Johnny in a recent issue of MotorSport magazine. It illustrated just what trials and tribulations he went through during his career. Thankfully, he has not...

Capelli is a good choice. He occasionally showed startling form with the Leyton House March, when the car's handling was perfect, but he sank without trace at Ferrari in '92.

Landslide - Fleetwood Mac

Hey Jude - The Beatles

It is sunny here in Northern England, but in the last few days, a chill in the air on the mornings has signified the arrival of Autumn, which is my favourite time of the year.

Jimi Hendrix - Angel

I remember him from his F3 days, when he was one of a number of good young British drivers in the series, most of whom were in cars outside the big, powerful two or three teams.

It would have been fascinating to see the 1988 McLaren in the hands of lesser drivers, as some sort of measure of how good the car really was. As it was, the car only raced for one season due to...

Formula 1 has in the last twenty years sought to tread that fine line between maintaining the challenge which makes the sport compelling, and also not subjecting the competitors to unnecessary risks....
