A motorist checking their dipstick may notice that their car’s oil level is lower than it should be, and many will rush straight to their local motor factor only to be confronted with a truly bewildering array of oil types featuring incomprehensible letters and numbers.

By Veronica Tan 2 weeks ago

This is Lewis Hamilton’s 15th season in Formula One. No one has won more titles and though seven is a big number he has lost as many as he has claimed. He knows what advantage feels like under a quick car and conversely how hard it is to push water up hill in inferior machinery.
