Last time in London

The last time the Race of Champions took place in London was at Wembley Stadium in 2008, where Lewis Hamilton demonstrated his title-winning McLaren. His future McLaren team-mate Jenson Button was participating but had yet to win his title, while David Coulthard was still racing for Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel was at Toro Rosso but still teamed up with Michael Schumacher to win the ROC Nations Cup.

Andrew first became a fan of Formula 1 during the time when Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill were stepping into the limelight after the era of Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell and Aryton Senna. He's been addicted ever since, and has been writing about the sport now for nearly a quarter of a century for a number of online news sites. He's also written professionally about GP2 (now Formula 2), GP3, IndyCar, World Rally Championship, MotoGP and NASCAR. In his other professional life, Andrew is a freelance writer, social media consultant, web developer/programmer, and digital specialist in the fields of accessibility, usability, IA, online communities and public sector procurement. He worked for many years in magazine production at Bauer Media, and for over a decade he was part of the digital media team at the UK government's communications department. Born and raised in Essex, Andrew currently lives and works in south-west London.
