Column on Diz
Has anyone seen the column in this weeks Motoring News by that Simon Arron on Diz?
Looks good next to stuff next to McLaren and Vodafone, testing and Micheline F1 withdrawal. |

Thanks - missed that. Now if he really knew him he wouldn't have called him Ian Smith!

I might stand corrected on this but it comes from the pre Formula E days when Richard Peacock ran Aintree Racing Drivers School. Ian had the knickname 'Dispatch' as when things needed doing he was one who was given the job of doing it. (still is by all accounts). It's been shortened to Diz since then. Richard Peacocks nickname was based on the well known hair colour of the time - something to do with the Greeks!
