Yesterday, I had a group discussion for my Anatomic Pathology practical exam coming up and we established that when in doubt, just write down genetics as the cause for any malignant disease (cancers), lol. In the automotive World, we have a similar quote proposed by the one and only Colin McRae of World Rally Championship (WRC) and it goes thus, "When in doubt, go flat out".

Sir Hamilton To become a Formular One driver, there are stages you must go through. The first stage is karting and we covered this in the last episode.

After karting, a driver then moves on to Formula 3, before Formula 2 and then finally joining the big dogs at Formula 1. For Hamilton, he began his racing career in the 2001 British Formula Renault Winter Series, finishing fifth in the standings. One might say fifth position is not so amazing but do...
