I used to blog a lot more about World’s Strongest Man, in fact I used to run The 5th Stone. The big problem I found is that World’s Strongest Man (WSM) usually takes place in September but isn’t shown on television until late December/ early January. That meant I was forever having the results spoiled [...]

Back in September I wrote a blog post talking about Through the Eyes of Formula 1, a new book that was to be published featuring photos taken by members of the F1 community. The book is out now and I am lucky enough to have a copy. Before we get to the content it’s worth [...]
