PEFC Certified This product is from sustainably managed forests and controlled sources www.pefc.co.uk POLE POSITION you couldn’t have scripted the weekend any better What a phenomenal Weekend of motorsport we’ve just been treated to. Whether it was the intriguing Formula 1 chess game that transpired around the streets of Monaco, the seesaw of fortunes on the carbreaking rocky trails of the Acropolis Rally, or a thrill-packed Indianapolis 500, the action was pulsating across the globe. I was at Indy, where Dario Franchitti’s mission from the rear of the field to claim his third victory in America’s showpiece single-seater event was one of the greatest drives I’ve ever witnessed. His place in the pantheon of Indycar’s legends is assured, and you wouldn’t bet against him joining the ultra-exclusive four-time 500 winners in the years to come. The race was also a fitting tribute to Dan Wheldon’s legacy, as the car that bears his initials produced a record number of lead changes. Three of his closest buddies locked out the podium – with his old Brands Hatch racing school pal Mark Webber triumphing in Monaco, too. It was as if the script had been written in the stars.
