I've been to and stayed in every track and paddock in Britain so motorsport and 'racing' isn't that foreign to me. F1 doesn't look anywhere near as good as it used to be although granted it's safer and they're not there to risk their lives for entertainment.

I used to be a big F1 fan and attended my first Grand at Brands Hatch way way back in 1964. However, in recent years my interest has waned. I find the circuits dull and uninteresting and the whole thing is very homogenized and corporate. Although the cars are very fast they don't present the spectacle that F1 once had when the cars didn't appear glued to the track. Having said that I am pleased to see Hamilton win his 4th title overtaking Jackie Stewart and his 3 championships.Fangio's 5 titles is the next target!

The top rate in the UK is 45% so it wouldn't be possible to give most of it to the taxman. Poor bloke would have to struggle on just £320k a week if he paid his tax in full.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

I recall back in the 1960s twice world champion Jim Clark becoming a tax exile with the result that he could no longer race regularly on British soil (this was in the days when top drivers competed in events other than Grand Prix.)

Very sorry I have now amended my post ....still dont reckon most people would stay and pay 45% of their earnings if they earned massive amounts!

well done lewis, boy done well. awesome driver especially when you compare him & bottas in the same car and will probably end the season with 100 more points than him. its amazing all the bad press he gets and the fact people judge him on the fact he decided to take up residence in another country, all the big stars live in a tax haven and we would all do the same!

The difference is that getting protein secondhand from meat, not direct from plants, brings with it all the elements that cause heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, strokes and a large number of cancers. Also, it's impossible to over-eat on a plant-based diet. You fill up long before you can do any harm to your body and the only side effects are that you consume a ton of beneficial nutrients and have a giant crap the next morning. Edited by Ray in Houston (30 Oct 2017 4.44pm) 100 years eating lentils and cabbage v 75 years eating meat? Hmmm. I'm not sure it is that simple.
