Re: Female Racing Drivers
Pulling was 7th in race 1 & 6th in race 3 at the Brands Hatch British F4 meeting. She not only drove away from the grid twice (safety car) in race 2 but also was 0.25s faster than anyone else on her way to a fine win. The contempt directed against X chromosome drivers by some Y chromosome commenters...

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?
Well I admire you're honesty rather than some passive dislike I sometimes see. :) I knew Hamilton when he was a kid (aged 10) in karts, from then on he was arguably, and then undeniably, the fastest driver in his formula, if IMO never the best. I was never a "fan" but always admired his on track pe...
