MN's Editor Tim Bowdler. Is this the uncoollest man on God's Holy Earth? We think so

I have a confession to make, but keep it under your hat. Damon Hill is my motorsport hero.

Yup, I've said it. Aloud.

See, the thing is, it's not cool to have a hero like that in this office. All the 'purists', as I call them, have very predictable lists in their emotional locker rooms.

Ask Arron, he'll say "Gilles Villeneuve". Then Dodgins: "Ayrton Senna". Yawn. Roberts: "Senna". Whatever. Burt: "Nigel Mansell". OK. Bowdler: "Damon Hill!"
