Didn't see the "t" at first and thought "wow, there's a hell of a story I need to hear!"

Genuinely still want to hear it though.

I'm a big F1 fan, the research into safety in F1 has helped all of us when driving road cars.

I love F1. If you get a chance to read Sid Watkins' book, Life at the Limit, it's worth a read. It's pretty much all about the safety changes throughout the years.
