Brand new season, brand new blog

Hi there.

I’m James. How are you?

Glad to hear it. I’m alright, thanks.

Right. Now the niceties have been dealt with, welcome to Mostly F1! A blog which is mostly about F1, funnily enough.

I am an enthusiast of three decades, having been thrust into the wonderful (if sometimes infuriating/bizarre/exhibitionist) world of Formula 1 pretty much as soon as I was born. Here I am at Silverstone in Nineteen-Ninety-Something having, according to my parents, just confused the punters around me by managing to identify Gianni Morbidelli from the green and red of his crash helmet and the not exactly rapid nature of his Minardi.

A young F1 fan at the British Grand Prix.

So, it is fair to say I have lived and breathed the sport for a fair time. I have often considered starting a blog, without ever quite finding the impetus to do it.

Until now.

(Obviously, or you wouldn’t be reading this…not to detract from the melodrama or anything.)

I will aim to provide some insight along with the usual news, stats and I guess memes seeing as I’m a millennial and apparently that’s all we do. Also quizzes. Because I bloody love a good quiz and you should too.

Hopefully you’re reading this years in the future…with the blog a huge success and an army of minions running it whilst I sip Moët in Monaco with Kimi Räikkönen, who is now 74 but still on a one-year contract with Audi or Porsche or whoever will agree to his terms of a steering wheel and a Magnum.

But that won’t happen unless I get on with things, so yes – thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoy the blog! If so, why not join the mailing list, eh? I’m off to try and think of another post now that I’ve already used most of the Kimi references up in the first one…

(Don’t leave me alone, I don’t know what I’m doing.)
