I understand there's some sort of race this weekend? Now I'm old enough to remember when you could see the driver's expressions wrestling with the wheel. When the cars - Vanwall, BRM etc - looked different and weren't covered in ads. It seems nowadays that the race is won or lost by computer engineers, not the skill of the driver. It all reminds me of speedway when the first one round the first bend would always win.
A few years ago I was loosely involved with a very clever small firm who produced the world's best wiring integrity test kits that are needed in everything from Jumbo jets and satellites to ejector seats and yes F1 race cars. They supplied a kit to one of the big teams and I wanted to put out a press release. Out of courtesy I thought I'd run it past them: "Yes of course: send us a cheque for £10K and you can send it out." We didn't of course.
So please explain what I might be missing.
