Nazi Grand Prix (4 of 4)

This is the story of Richard Seaman, one of Britain's greatest racing drivers ever. Seaman was almost erased from history when he left British motor-sport and chose to race for the German Mercedes team at the height of the Third Reich. Seduced by the power and discipline of the German racing teams, the allure was so great for Seaman that nothing - neither family nor fear of war - would keep him from the wheel of the fastest cars in the world. It was a fascination so great that, in the end, it cost him his life.

Got to say, of all the stories in the F1 archive (or what became F1), there aren't many that have captured my imagination as much as Richards Seaman's. Can't believe it's almost unknown.

His life would make a great movie!

England should proud him the most, he was racing for Adonlf Hitler and Mercedes, the top of the XX century.
