So here we go, the start of Lyndsey's journey into becoming the ultimate super nerd that Ricky is. At least about Formula One anyway.

We are going back in time and going through the 1981 season and Lyndsey has made her predictions for who will come out on top by seasons end.

We start off with the United States West Grand Prix, Well it would have been South Africa but F1 politics made that race mysteriously disappear and never happened so..... US West it is!

Feel free to get in touch and tell us about your memories from this era and what F1 drivers, teams and races are true legends, and which ones are duds!
