As a passionate motorsport fan, I have to admit that last weekend was a pretty depressing one.
I was at Monza on my usual beat in the Formula 3 European Championship, where a chain reaction of potentially catastrophic crashes pretty much ruined the event amid recriminations from the officials, who abandoned the final race halfway through due to continuing poor driving standards.
Once my work was done at Monza, I drove to Malpensa airport, got on a flight to Gatwick, returned home and switched on in time for the second half of the IndyCar race at Detroit. And that was even worse than what we'd seen in Italy.
