RICK @ the RACES (1 / 2 Nov 2014)
As we go into November it heralds the beginning of my quiet season, and this was the first of many winter weekends that I’ll be spending at home.
The highlight of my weekend was Sundays live broadcast on TV of the F1 Grand Prix of the U.S.A from the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.
This of course had added interest for me, as earlier in the year I’d been to COTA and had an excellent one on one guided tour. Check out my report for March 2 2014 in the archives.
The race turned out to be a good one , where Englands Lewis Hamilton drove his Mercedes to another victory, to increase his lead in the 2014 points chase.
In doing so, he also became the most successful British driver, by beating Nigel Mansell’s tally of race wins.
