About

Hi! I'm Sam and I live in London, UK with my beautiful Wife Georgie and my cat Dusty. I have been a n avid F1 fan since, as a four- year-old, my father placed me in front the coverage of the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix and I was captivated by Senna's mastery in the torrential conditions. Since then I have had the pleasure of attending the British Grand Prix twice and meeting several drivers and personalites connected with Formula One. My current support lies with Fernando Alonso and of all the teams I have the greatest affection for Williams, who propelled my boyhood hero Damon Hill to glory. I am excited by the brave new world F1 is striding into next year, thank heavens for a return to slick tyres!

My other sporting interests involve Boxing (the classic era of 1950-1980), Tennis and Pro Wrestling. I know Pro Wrestling isn't a competitive sport per-se, but it is an extraordinary physical discipline and at it's best an art form.
