The first time I heard the name of 'Ronnie Peterson' was in 2010 - I had been watching Formula 1 for just over a year as a beardless Blyth-raised boy. Ronnie captured my mind immediately and is perhaps my favourite racing driver of all time - my hero. . I have written pieces on the SuperSwede in the past, looking back over his career, however, this piece is something different. In my eyes, it may well be the best thing I've written to date. Touching and hard to write at times, I'm very proud to be able to publish this piece in Issue 282 of Motorsport Monday, 40 years on after his fatal accident at the 1978 Italian Grand Prix. .
