Motorsport is the most incredible showcase for engineering, bravery of drivers and speed. But it’s also a sport, which in its essence is a battle for victory against each other and the clock. And what makes that great is the mixture of emotions it brings. From the elation of victory to the lows of defeat.
Sometimes that defeat is even more heartrending than you can imagine, moments when everything seemed to just be ticking along to victory and it was snatched from them and hurled into the dust.
