In 1998 a Stevenage man watched his son soundly beaten in a go-kart race by a very fast young driver. He went to the bookies and asked to put a bet on this kid winning a Formula One race before he reached the age of 23.William Hill laughed him out of the shop, but Ladbrokes gave him odds of 200-1. After this month’s Montreal Grand Prix, where 22 year-old Lewis Hamilton recorded his first victory, the chap called up Ladbrokes to claim his winnings – £40,200.
Bad joke notes
100 years ago, 20 white men chasing a black man was called the ku klux klan. Nowadays its called Formula One.
