Personal & F1 Hub Introduction & Welcome


Before I begin spontaneously deliberating preferences and predictions for the widely deliberated 2013 season as my first proper blog, here are a few words on me and the business I am founding along uni friends Paul Breading & Andy Thomas: the F1 Hub. 


Hi! This is me (and my keyring).

I'm Nick Drake, a graduate of the University of Winchester, and have watched Formula One since the age of five seeing Damon Hill and the Williams team win the 1996 championship in spectacular fashion. Aside from my fascination of the sport and racing, I enjoy rock gigs, clever television series such as Dexter, learning Spanish and of course have a rather large appetite for pub grub accompanied by a cold pint (or three). Oh, and I have a McLaren keyring on my car keys which I dropped a few days ago now has three wheels.


Best of all, I have never written an article, blog or anything similar in my life, so good luck reading this... My ideal ambition is to travel the world following the destinations of a whole Formula 1 season, to experience every lap, overtake, crash, rain shower, engine roar and magical history making moment. Some day eh?! 

My claim to fame is my great uncle Ted Drake played for England & Arsenal, and holds many records to this day including 42 goals in the 1934/35 season. It’s a shame that his skills weren't passed down in my genes then!

F1 Hub Website

Anyhow, enough about me. This blog is the starting point towards The F1 Hub, an up and coming comprehensive website community of all things Formula 1. Whilst features of the site will be added in stages, in time it will contain (without giving too much away) day-to-day news articles, a licensed and innovative gift shop, live-race forums and best of all we have the ambition to offer flexible Formula One package holidays to every race round the world, with fully flexible options personalised and chosen by you. In summary it will be a community that if you are a fan of Formula One, small or like me massive, that you can be and feel a part of.

If you are reading this in 2012, thank you for taking an interest at this stage. Until the site fulfils its potential and until the site launches for the first time even, I hope you take some enjoyment out these blog articles.

Nick, F1Hub.
