There were quite a few things that happened in Formula 1, a sport that I follow the most closely probably, in the 90s and noughties, that looking back...

I think actually there's a crossover here between conspiracy and cheating. Now, I think the greatest book that's not been written... and never will be written, is the greatest cheats in motorsport.

You will see people at their most ingenious when they're cheating, not when they're abiding by the rules. And Formula One is about... the phrase that the great Mark Donoghue, one of your great drivers, Mark Donoghue was a Can-Am driver who did a bit of Formula 1 as well.

He was the voice of our motorsport for 40 years. He had a very distinctive voice. He was a lovely man, met him a few times.
