A look at the history of the best there ever was. The Quiet Champion captured my imagination when I was 6 and has never let go.

First part of the look into the British GP. Hopefully, the second one comes out before Tuesday.
PIA loses an easy win, NOR takes advantage, HUL makes history, and chaos reigns around one of the season's best tracks.
What's not to like?

And we were alive to see Le Mans winner Hülkenberg score his 1st podium, only took 239 GPs.
Remarkable day at Silverstone, all 3 races were brilliant, culminating in an epic F1 GP.
And what a moment for, by all accounts, an excellent bloke. With beautiful hair.

So the new TD came into effect and McLaren appears completely unaffected. WHO KNEW????
Hamilton even said after the session that the rule is a "waste of money". Nice...

Another attempt at "spicing the show" goes pear-shaped. Who could have foreseen this??? Other than everyone.
But the Crown Jewel was again a great demonstration of the drivers' skills and abilities, Lando Norris coming up on top while Mercedes faltered quite hard.

How's that stupid fucking rule working to "spice up the show", you idiots?
F1 strategists will always trump dumb rule makers trying to create artificial drama to please the fans who do not really like F1.
