Our experts' guide on how you can become a better racing driver
In Abu Dhabi last month Dr Aki Hintsa won another Formula 1 drivers' championship. The Finn, who sadly passed away in November at just 58, has won titles with Mika Hakkinen, Kimi Raikkonen, Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and now Nico Rosberg since first becoming involved in grand prix racing in 1998.
