    A fun fact that I really liked about Palmer's doctorate skills is that he was the first doctor to arrive at the scene of Jacques Laffite's career-ending crash at Brands Hatch in 1986. Racing with Zakspeed at the time, Palmer parked his car by the pits, jumped out and helped the medical crew in extricating Laffite out of his car. He went on to finish the race in 9th, albeit 6 laps down from race winner Mansell.

      I had the pleasure of visiting his reopened museum in Duns last August (my parents' house is about 45 minutes away) - it's strange trying to connect a "World Champion" with the surrounding quiet villages and farmland.
      Apparently his proudest moment, more than anything in racing, was being awarded the Freedom of Duns from the mayor, ceremonial key and all - although there's stock footage of him being very uncomfortable receiving it in front of a crowd and having to make a speech, which looks like it's being tortured out of him.
      (It also taught me that trophy size is in no way reflective of the race won - some of the minor series cups and plates are many times bigger than his F1 championship silverware!)

    Jonathan Palmer has done more for motorsport in the UK than probably anybody else ever has, and has received little to no recognition for it. If you’ve ever been to an MSV track (Oulton, Brands, Cadwell, Snetterton) you’ll know they are some of the best tracks in the country. All this and he’s saved lives as a doctor, If anyone deserves a knighthood it’s him.

    Shout out to Dr Palmer; when a multi-car pileup occurred at the start of the 1986 British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch, Jacque Laffite was sent feet-first into a wall and was badly injured. Palmer leapt from his own crashed car and immediately rushed to assist him.

    Jim Clark was the most naturally gifted driver in f1 ever. Even bigger talent then Senna. Discovered racing at the age of 18 meanwhile Senna was karting since he could walk. Jim Clark rarely gets mentioned today and its a shame since he was better than majority of champs that are rated above him...
