I'm about to show my age .... (51)

F1 racing has come a long way since Jackie Stewart, my favorite driver retired. During the early 70's a driver had a three in five chance of dying if he raced more than five years. Think about that, 3 in 5 if you raced more than five years ..... safety was pathetic ..... death or injury by fire common .....

At the peak of his career, three time World Champion F-1 driver Jackie Stewart retired ..... the reason given was .....

"I have done everything there is to do in racing except die"


Happy retirement to Schumacher .....
