F1 had a major impact on my learning and definitely, indirectly, started me on a path to my current career!
I got into it in 1996 and became obsessed with the data and statistics behind it – there was very little online to help you out with that back then so I built my own spreadsheets to work things out, taught myself to build a webpage and then ran a fantasy F1 game! (I gave the site to someone back in 2002 and they let it fold, now I’m thinking I should have kept going with all of that!!)
