Nigel Roebuck starts his new monthly column for 'Motor Sport' in the March
issue, out now.
Nigel has been reporting on Formula 1 since 1971 and is considered one of the
sport's most influential writers. He started his career as a freelance
journalist and for the past 30 years has written for 'Autosport' as their
Formula 1 correspondent, his "Fifth Column" becoming essential reading for his
fascinating insights into drivers, teams and managers.
From the March issue, Nigel will be unleashed and exclusive, only in 'Motor
Sport' every month.
His first column looks at three key aspects of modern F1:
:: The importance of the edge of risk in Formula 1.
"Racing has to be unsafe - otherwise you're lessening the challenge".
:: Why losing traction control is symbolically vital.
"When they go to Melbourne, only five drivers will have previously raced an F1
car without traction control, but I don't doubt that all 22 will do just fine".
:: Life after Alonso and the spy scandal at McLaren.
"Alonso's behaviour didn't work. McLaren had begun to look like two teams
operating out of the same pit".
Nigel says:
"My aim is to produce a magazine that celebrates everything good about the
sport, yet speaks its mind when the need arises. 'Motor Sport' is the only
magazine that an enthusiast really needs to buy."
'Motor Sport''s website - http://www.motorsportmagazine.co.uk - has also been
improved. Look out for blogs by many of their leading writers, and log on for
