My Take

Marco Werner belongs to a breed of driver I find endlessly compelling: the endurance specialist. Becoming the eighth man to complete the informal triple crown of long-distance racing is no fluke; it demands speed plus the patience and mechanical sympathy that pure sprinters never need. I love that his early résumé includes finishing runner-up in German F3 behind none other than Tom Kristensen, a future Le Mans legend. There is something honest about excelling in the marathon end of motorsport, far from Formula One's glare. Werner strikes me as a craftsman of stamina, and I quietly tip my cap to him.
