The moment I realised I had to slow down

Free Thinking

Available for over a year

Two former speed demons – retired racing driver Damon Hill and former wheelchair racer Tanni Grey-Thompson – reflect on how age can increase our sense of vulnerability. This clip is from a Free Thinking Festival panel event on Quick Reactions. Adrenaline brings us increased strength, heightened sense, a lack of pain and a burst of energy – but does it help us to think better?
