    In some ways, all cars are on fire while they are driving. So makes sense. That particular car was perhaps more on fire than the car was designed for.

    Michael Langley well, an early Happy Birthday Murray Walker! I desperately hope his health doesn't fail, because it would be a wonderful thing to see Mary Walker making it to 100. To think this man was still commentating on almost the entire F1 season into the 21st century. It's just amazing. His great friend, Martin Brundle, would be in tears if Murray made it to 100.

    The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long. James was a legend indeed. He genuinely lived each moment of his life as if it was his last (and in 70s F1 it was likely during racing), you have to admire him for that mindset. Murray was a legend in his own right, but I admire free spirits more.
