1,000 Greatest Drivers: Richard Longman

Because it took a long time to get this done...

No, it didn’t, but I couldn’t resist the pun. There was only a two-day gap between columns but obviously, I didn’t release a column yesterday because I was preparing for the house cleaning this morning and filling the dumpster that the code enforcement officer brought me. I almost entirely cleared out the kitchen and the front room today and the code enforcement officer is willing to let my mom come home and leave the nursing home as soon as I clear off her bed and move a stand she has near the entrance to her doorway. I’m not sure whether the nursing home will agree to release her or not and that seems like the main issue right now.

I had a gap of two days with no driver I had planned, so initially I was going to do write-ups for both seven-time F1 champions to mark the start of the F1 season, but I didn’t get to it. I do have two blanks next week for both March 25 and 26 so I plan on likely doing both Schumacher and Hamilton then.
