Sports & Recreation > Auto Racing (Other) Formula 1 driver profiles: Roland Ratzenberger: 2 of 2
In 1999 I was fortunate enough to have a brief discussion with a delightful elderly couple from the Austrian city of Salzburg. It became clear that, at a time of life when they should have been content in retirement reflecting on a successful life, instead they were still struggling to come to terms with a tragedy that had oc...

Sports & Recreation > Auto Racing (Other) Formula 1 drivers: Jochen Rindt: 2 of 2
Jochen Rindt is remembered principally for one thing. The Austrian holds the tragic record of being Formula 1's only posthumous World Champion. It is only natural that this has come to overshadow the rest of his career but his death in 1970 also robbed the sport of one of its most popular and talented competitors.Born in 1942... More..
Sports & Recreation > Auto Racing (Other) Formula 1 drivers: Riccardo Paletti: 2 of 2
The bespectacled young Italian did not look like a racing driver, but Riccardo Paletti was serious about his motor racing career, to the extent that he took his own medical adviser to races with him to monitor his body's performance.

Formula 1 is traditionally the domain of extravagant individuals and large egos. Thomas Maldwyn Pryce ticked neither of these boxes but the sight of him balancing his menacing black Shadow on the edge of adhesion would become one of the sport's most enduring images.

Sports & Recreation > Auto Racing (Other) Reflections on Formula 1 drivers: Stefan Bellof: 2 of 2
Many younger fans of Formula 1 will be unaware that, prior to Michael Schumacher's arrival in the sport, there was another supremely talented German who could have been World Champion if he had lived long enough.

Food & Drink > Soup & Stew Recipes Recipes: Cullen skink, traditional Scottish soup: 2 of 2
Cullen Skink takes its name from the fishing village of Cullen in the north-east of Scotland. It is an extremely rich and filling soup. There are several variations of the recipe but, after much experimenting, this is the one that I use. The whole cooking time, including preparation, should take no more than 50 minutes.To ser...
