Herbie Blash

Herbie Blash is catnip for any Formula One fan. Born in England in 1948, he joined Lotus back in 1968 to work with Graham Hill, which makes him a living slice of the sport's history. He started as a mechanic, grew into management, was recruited by Frank Williams, and ended up as the FIA Race Directors' permanent senior advisor. That is more than half a century breathing paddock air, and it shows in a kind of seasoned authority you simply cannot fake. I am hopelessly drawn to these behind-the-scenes craftsmen who hold the sport together while the drivers take the glory.
