    Damon Hill was wondering what the Buddhism of Alex Albon will bring to his driving.
    Well I haven't studied that faith completely over the years, and it seems that Albon is nominal rather than devout in his following of it, but it works something like this;
    The 2011 Italian Grand Prix - at the start when Vitantonio Liuzzi went onto the grass and spun - and travelled backwards at about 150 mph towards the first chicane - and it was obvious beforehand that he'd collect at least one of the cars that were going through it - and it just happened to be Nico Rosberg.
    A devout Buddhist watching that would've said to themselves - "Of course."
    I'll leave you to figure out exactly why - because it is complicated - but I often think of Buddhism whenever I see Formula 1 accidents like that one.
