A stunning way to tell a story. Check out this audition on the X Factor. What have you been up to this week? It’s been a crazy one on this end…I had this interview come out on Radio National about the piece in the Griffith Review, learnt a fair bit about training someone and read many analyses about the reaction to the Boston Bombings (a few of which I have included below). Enough about me though…here are some of the bits and bobs which caught my eye this week. Paul Grahams words on finding your purpose and doing...

read moreF1 and Domestic Politics – Should it Matter?
I originally wrote this piece on the day of the Bahrain GP for the International Political Forum - check it out here! The F1 world exists in a bubble of its own. Although highly political, its politics are usually internal, and as such the domestic politics of the host nation rarely rates a mention.

That is why the case of today’s race in Bahrain is very...

This piece originally appeared on Richard’s F1…you can see the original piece here! Sometimes a public figure will say something that makes you want to check your hearing just in case you didn’t hear it right the first time. “I think women have the [physical] strength,” former Grand Prix winner Sir Stirling Moss said to BBC Radio 5 Live, of female F1 drivers. “…but I don’t know if they’ve got the mental aptitude to race hard, wheel-to-wheel.” He goes on: “The mental stress I think would be pretty difficult for a lady to deal with...
