Sean's Bio:

“I first found F1 in 2003 when I was nine. My Dad and Brother took me to Silverstone qualifying and since that day I have never looked back. From then on I have never missed a Grand Prix. I supported Jordan GP originally until they broke up in 2005 when I changed to support my favourite driver at McLaren, Kimi Raikkonen. I would have loved to have started on a career into F1 but it was too late by the time I had decided; that and the fact that karting is notoriously expensive. I have always enjoyed writing and then one day whilst thinking about my future I realised I could have both, F1 + Writing = F1 Journalism. I am only 17 and will be going to university next year to study journalism which hopefully will start me on my way to becoming a professional F1 journalist.

Obviously I was not around to witness the era of Stirling Moss but I am fascinated with those days of racing and in particular the life of Moss himself. I feel that some of the passion of motor racing has been majorly lost and although I still have a love for F1 it is fundamentally, as Ayrton Senna put it “a business,” albeit an extremely exciting, fast and purely excellent  'business'.

Outside of F1 I love other motorsports, mainly WRC and Moto GP although I do like to keep up to date with the BTCC. I still have the desire to race but it is something that I will pursue as a hobby rather than a career.”
