Friday Feature – Spotlight: Lewis Hamilton – Formula One
In this weeks blog post, we will be doing a bit of a throwback since I haven’t written one of these in a while. We will be covering a Spotlight/Friday Feature on Lewis Hamilton – the famous Formula One driver for Mercedes. We all know him by Lewis Hamilton in the Formula One world, but since he was knighted in 2021, he was re-named Sir Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton (okay, maybe the Sir part was the only new real edition) point is, he’s a big deal no matter what you know him as.

And with big names like Christian Bale and Matt Damon in the leading roles, you know this will be a movie to remember. Movie Summary This movie, although fictitious at some points, took the real story of Enzo…

Movie Review: Gran Turismo
In this week’s blog post, I decided to change things up a little, and do a movie review. I will be reviewing the movie ‘Gran Turismo’ which believe it or not, is based on a true story. This movie is a prime example of a young kid with a burning desire to follow his dreams, and he shows that dreams really can come true, if you work hard enough to achieve them. Movie Summary This true story follows a team made from some unlikely people – a working-class gamer, a former race-car driver, and an idealistic motorsport executive – who come together and risk it all to take part in…
