The tailback, bizarrely, was longer than any I’d encountered en route to last month’s British Grand Prix. Back then I made a point of reaching Silverstone’s main gate at absurd…
Massa: he’s got to go, hasn’t he? He’s not been the same since that bang on the bonce. That’s harsh, particularly on such a good bloke – a honourable man…
