  Name dropping

Motor Sport magazine regulars might have noticed that the letters page has become increasingly devoted to correspondence from people who merely want readers to know that they once brushed shoulders with the great and wonderful: “…and I once nearly got on a plane with Sir Stirling Moss”, that sort of thing.

This kind of tosh belongs in a celebrity magazine, not among the hallowed columns of Motor Sport. I mentioned this over lunch with Michael Schumacher, and he agrees with me.

  1. The Brits just LOVE their celebrities. It is a bit disappointing however, that a hallowed title such as Motor Sport should be jumping on that bandwagon.
