Steve Cooper: On the Limit

"Even a grandmaster can be dethroned"

FIA president Max Mosley once famously made the observation that a Formula 1 race should be a little like a chess match: demanding and taxing on a mental level, where the culmination of an afternoon's strategy leads to a singular, decisive move rather than a rash of scrambled and impetuous stabs at glory.
