Why do I like writing?
Writing requires that you (a) have some opinions and (b) organise your thoughts. Both of those skills are pretty handy for living as a human being too.

I’ve restarted my F1 blog for the 2020 season. Reactions, plotwists and opinion on the story of F1:

From 2013-2016 I was the English-Content editor for F1 Live 24, an F1-Centric mobile app with a quarter of a million downloads. I wrote a weekly column, as well as qualifying and race reports and live text-commentaries. The app is available to download on Android, iOS and blackberry.
The F1 Story:
Largely on the backburner since I started at F1Live_24, but here’s a link to my blog dedicated to Formula One, The F1 Story which is covering the 2013 season. I’m an F1 Romantic and have followed the sport and its circus all my life. I like looking at how F1 writes it’s own story because it’s so beautifully flawed in many respects. Remember, If is F1 spelt backwards.
Sparky & Noops:
Long dead and listed for nostalgia’s sake, my first blog, Sparky & Noops was a station for me to write blogs on anything that crossed my day-to-day life. It contains critical analysis of pop culture, perfect music video blueprints and a formula for predicting who would leave Strictly Come Dancing each week (which worked).
