It’s good to see that Formula 1 drivers do have time to follow sports without motors. It means they’re well-rounded, but not in a JPM way. [Sorry, I couldn’t resist. And, no, the answer is not figure skating.]
Please don’t ask me to tell you who the other two Europeans to top 600 goals in the NHL are. As an American who grew up in Southern California, I’d have no idea. [I do know our hockey team once traded for Wayne Gretzky. I do know that much. And the answer, of course, is curling.]
