Hamilton won his record 8th world title race and extends his record wins to 96.  As I watched highlights of the race, I was reminded of car races featured on ABC Wide World of Sports as a child of the 70's. Seeing Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen go at it down the stretch was classic race car competition with skilled professionals behind the wheel. 

Though March Madness has most of us sports fans glued to NCAA college basketball, it does a fan good to step away from the hardcourts, frozen tundras and ballparks to take in a competition of power, precision and speed. Grand Prix Formula 1 takes you to a place where team consists of lightening fast pit crew, driver and race car, doing battle against cocky competitors and challenging tracks. 

Gentleman, start your engines!
