Michael Radley

F1 Chief Editor

My first memories of F1 were in the 1992 season when Nigel Mansell won his world title. And although he won by some margin, the outpouring of emotion as he won captivated me. It wasn't just as he was crowned, but also the track invasion as he won at Silverstone that year that really made me sit up and pay attention. This was a sport that invoked passion in ordinary people in a way I hadn't seen before. Every couple of weeks in a new corner of the world there was political intrigue, the latest engineering, the greatest drivers on the planet - all live on TV. As the back stories of the drivers and the teams were explained to me by my Dad I was hooked. In my time I've been lucky enough to have been to Grand Prix in Britain, Australia, India, Monaco, Spain, Italy, and Japan. Travelling the world to see these as a fan and seeing the world of F1 in real life just makes that fire burn stronger. I hope to share my love for the history of the sport, the wider story arcs of the drivers and key personnel, as well as the intricacies of each season as F1 Chief Editor for YourSportWorld.
