If I was going to hire a sportswriter, the first question that I would ask them is: How do you reconcile the essential meaningless in sports? How do you reconcile watching young men drive around circuits in a fuel tank with wings as fast as possible? How do you reconcile the importance of that? Just like Shakespeare or Beethoven’s symphony, this is going above and beyond.

At its best sport is – look at what humans can do.
