Divesh is a fan of anything with wheels and some sort of propulsion system. You will usually find him watching motor racing, of any description, on the weekend: F1, MotoGP, WRC, Superbikes, you name it. He was diagnosed with a severe case of Schumi-itis in 1994, and has never really recovered since. Its reoccurrence in 2010 has led to him running his own F1 themed blog at f1maniac.net.
