The short version? There is none. Did you think we could sum up a life in a paragraph or two? I wouldn’t expect that of you… His first Corgi toy car was a “John Player” Lotus in 1972 (still has it). His second was John Surtees. He has not looked back since. He also likes to think he convinced Bob Scanlon to hire Steve Matchett at Speedvision after a series of emails discussing the possibility. Of course Bob was way ahead of him but we let a sleeping dog lie and ignore the parallax that so obviously occurred. He would start suggesting Perry McCarthy but as there is no Bob; there is no ear for such crucial media and talent direction such as this. Next idea? Hire Matt Bishop at Speed TV and offer him plenty of Earl Grey (The British Empire was built on a cup of tea). Matt would amaze us with his terse comments, rictus and magnanimous presence…that’s how Matt rolls baby and he ‘ain’t clowning his peeps. PS- As a personal thank you—hear is to our Spanish, British, Brazilian Asian, Indian and European fans. With all sincerity, you have made Formula 1 Blog.com what it is today. Millions of Page Views later and demographics are clear; these fans are some of the most ardent F1 fans in history and I couldn’t be more humbled by your willingness to reach out to these two Yankees and indulge us. I know, we’re Yanks and we’re supposed to be into NASCAR but imagine if you will the difficulty we face as F1 fans in a nation that turns left…yeah, it’s that painful.
