Motor Sport on F1 Opinion
While our late founder editor Bill Boddy was working at the Royal Aircraft Establishment he met Denis Jenkinson, and, impressed by his knowledge and no-nonsense attitude, asked him to write for Motor Sport.

Our editor-in-chief Nigel Roebuck continues to provide that same incisive opinion on Formula 1 today.
