Atom bums?

Sir.

I refer to the coming-together between Ayrton Senna and Nigel Mansell during November’s Australian Grand Prix. I suggest only two possible conclusions.

1 . It was the inevitable result of a contest between two atom-age driving geniuses on the absolute ragged edge of adhesion and control.

2. It was the result of a contest between an atom-age Tweedle-Dum and TweedleDee in bomb-proof, carbon fibre cocoons.
