I rather like Martin Brundle's articles in the Sunday Times.  Like Jenks,
he's "been there", and he knows most of the major players in F-1 today.
Good concise writing, doesn't pull punches, analytical from a position of
knowledge rather than bias, and doesn't seem to let his managerial
connections with some drivers affect his judgment in any way.

I no longer read Motor Sport or AutoSport, so there may be other contenders
that I don't know about.

WOW!

 Sterling Moss responded to the same question my saying


YES, PROBABLY THE BREMGARTEN CIRCUIT.  A GREAT, DANGEROUS AND
DIFFICULT ROAD COURSE IN THE PARK.  LAST HELD IN 1954 I THINK.
YES, NIGEL ROEBUCK AND ALAN HENRY.  THEY ARE NOT JENKS, BUT THEY ARE
PRETTY GOOD, AS ARE MOST OF THE GUYS IN AUTOSPORT.
CIAO, SM


SM, first response was to me asking what DSJ's fav all-time track
was.
