Nice story. Kind of surprised how calm the reporter was during the ride-along. Didn't appear to be white knuckled at all, just got a little giddy at the end when Lewis started to drift. Makes me wonder how smooth it feels when Hamilton is stringing corners (compared to us mortals).

I was surprised that Charlie Rose's narrative was a bit dumb.

Did anyone else notice that while Hamilton drives for MB, 60 minutes used the phase "Ultimate Driving Machine?"

Yep. I thought the Charlie Rose narrative sucked
Oprah probably through Gale King got Charlie Rose to do the piece for 60-Minutes. Thought the Senna pic was kind of classless - why show the prone body. It's like no one involved with the piece was knowledgeable about F1.

They're catering to an audience who knows literally nothing about F1 so it makes sense.
