About

A long suffering fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs who has still only lived through a fraction of the team’s 43-year streak of mediocrity, I consider hockey to be my favourite sport. However, living in Canada means that I have no shortage of friends, family, and random people on elevators to discuss hockey with.

My other great passion, Formula 1, is not so popular in this corner of the world, and as a result I am lucky if I meet someone who knows of Michael Schumacher, much less a KERS system. This barren wasteland of motorsport interest (apart from NASCAR), has forced me to find another method of sharing my enthusiasm for F1, and so I’ve come back from a two-year blogging hiatus to do just that.

    No worries mate, they weren't that bad. I know almost nothing about F1, and I'm comfortable with that, but I found your article smart and entertaining. It made me want to read the whole thing. Keep up the good work!
