And that says a lot!! Watching races from before ny time doesn't tell us the story these drivers went through. Funny to hear him compliment Brundle and having heard from Martin that he was at his best in those Jaguar's to a level he could not achieve in F1 which was already bloody fast!
Such a nice guy, met him a few times when he was helping mentor Oliver Rowland to FR3.5 championship success. Thankful for his devotion to young british talent, safety and his example of fairness and sportsmanship.
Both him and Brundle had huge accidents before running back to the spare car to have another go, both never saw the success they deserved through crap cars and both grew up on Britians often overlooked short track scene. His brothers death was witnessed by a friend of mine too, he was another guy that was destined for greatness, the world was robbed of great guy that day
Tom, I have heard each and every one of your interviews in Beyond The Grid, and enjoyed all of them. It has given me amazing insights of all of the personalities you have interviewed. But this one is special. I ended up almost crying, and having big empathy and huge respect for Derek. Congratulations. Saludos desde México!
A truly amazing podcast! That long emotional pause when asked about his brother's crash, just broke me down! I too felt his emotions directly! His passion while describing cars, spirit of racing drivers is so addictive! Very genuine and inspirational personality! I love this podcast series more and more everyday!
I've listened to all the beyond the grid's, and this one is my favorite so far. I recall one year at Monaco there was a reputable driver spectating, I can't remember which one, and when the press asked him about his status or what he thought about the weekend all he could talk about was how insane it felt to watching warwick in practice, on the edge in every stint, and on a different level than the other driver's the way he was wrestling the car around the track. Now I know from this he's a level-headed guy as well. It's too bad he didn't get to join Senna at Lotus.
I'd love to hear episodes with one of these guys: Karl Wendlinger, Alex Zanardi, Peter Sauber, Eddie Irvine, Alex Wurz, Riccardo Patrese, Alastair Caldwell, Norbert Haug, just to name a few
Yet again, a great interview! I learn so much during the various interviews. I must say, listening to Derek talk about his brother, Paul, was...was, well actually brought a tear to my eyes.
Legend. He raced in my youth and I was always rooting for him and Arnoux. I was 10 at Monza in 1990 and remember bothering my late dad until he bought me a small replica of Derek's helmet, which I still have!
Very good episode please stick with more personalties who have stories to tell and maybe and i really respect them avoid the current grid as they don’t have the freedom to express as much. Jarno Trulli or HH frentzen please? Cheers
@@heliumtrophy The K. Mag interview was extremely mundane. But that's down to the interviewer asking mundane questions. I'm sure Kevin could've made the interview more interesting with some better(controversial) questions.
This confirmed everything I've read about Warwick, a driver I always rooted for. I remember the Monza shunt and what followed well. An excellent interview.
Tom, as always thank you and the rest of the team for this episode. It was emotional and entertaining and so good. I listen to every one of your episodes and it's always so well done, well crafted interviews. And good balance of both old and new human stories.
Tom, again, your interview teaches me again something wonderful about the sport I love. F1 is about fast cars and glamour, but it’s more than that: it’s about remarkable people doing remarkable things that most of us could only ever dream of. It’s the people that make the sport.Thank you Derek and Tom.
One of my favorite episode. Love that story with jean todt, those 92 Peugeot lemans cars with this aircraft cockpit were amazing ! Love the arguement with Schumacher 💪🏻 also
Derek always came across as a very hard but fair driver and because of his links with superstox (he was world champion) I always followed his career. I also watched Paul many a time in the Superstox at the old South Brink oval in Wisbech. A very talented driver (as many are in short oval/Stock car racing) and it was no surprise when he made the change to long circuit racing. Its a great shame that the BRDC don't recognise and extend the membership to be more inclusive of those who have excelled at so called grass roots motorsport over the years.
What a great podcast! I knew the name Derek Warwick, from when I started watching F1, but I now feel I know so much more of the man. Especially his openness is awesome. I actually learned more about Jean todt in this podcast than in JT’s one😅 One of the top sessions.
When Derek hit the barrier at Monza then skidded upside down along the race track, I was sure he was dead. It was 1 of the most shocking things I ever watched in F1. Watching him squeeze out of his car, then immediately doing a 200 metre dash for the spare car, was 1 of the funniest things I ever watched in F1. Great interview.
@@randomcamerajunk6977 The brother of Michael Schumacher. Ralf is Sky-Expert in Germany. We should talk to him because Michael is not able to because he had a ski-crash.
Great interview! Derek says it how it is I like it. Loved his story about his run in with Schumacher, shows again what a dirty driver he was. Sad to hear about his brother Paul and the awful Lotus car that kept falling apart. Nothing about Footwork though :( I thought he did well in his last ever season in F1.
He did pretty well in the Silk Cut Jag. Busby drove the BF Goodrich 962 in IMSA, not a 953. Derek Bell raced the 953 in WEC and 962 with Al Holbert in IMSA. Just saying..
great interview but he didn't finish 7th at Suzuka for Arrows but 6th (and had started 25th), would have liked to have hear more about his Arrows years, that section of his carreer wasn't covered
To quote a comment "Senna caused such a stink with the British press that Motoring News ran a ‘Warwick too fast for Senna’ front page headline. However Lord Johnny Dumfries (Lord who?) seemed to be no threat at all and was then duly hired." Thanks a lot for this incredibly amazing interview guys, I made a wish and it came true. Yes Senna was ambitiously ruthless, and brought the team around him, much like Schumacher, Vettel and Lewis - as they say, it takes a whole team to win. The characters in F1 are so much more vivid and dynamic than most other jobs or sports, and some got the broken bones to prove it. They were fighter pilots in the wars back then, brave heroes all.
Get's you no where in the cut throat world of world sport, but gets you everywhere in being a decent human being, you gotta ask yourself what matters most to you.
Beyond the grid is definitely my favourite podcast and this was my favourite one yet. It made me choke listening to Derek speak about his brother and made me laugh out loud when he was talking about Schumacher. Thank you Tom Clarkson for these wonderful chats with real life legends. Keep 'em coming.
Whoever is reading this hope you become Rich and successful and you will achieve anything that you wish in your life 🤩 Best regards from a small RU-vidr 🤩
Jos would be great like to hear him talk about the 1994 season with Benetton because he has said in the past that his car was not the same as schumachers
Very touching interview but a shame that you didn't ask him about being an F1 steward, elicit his thoughts on modern F1, or get his opinions on how it can be improved.
Peter Warr was weak and gave in to Senna's demands time and time again. No person is bigger than the team - Chapman would have never stood for Ayrton wanting everything revolving around him. Warwick was underrated, very much in the Patrese mould and he would have kept Senna very honest.
I love how they always ask about Senna without fail like they're expecting some great tales but almost always they get a story about how much of a bastard he could be and how he thought the sun shined out his arse lol. Wish they'd stop bloody asking
Have you seen anyone else park his car after someone crashed and help them out of the car? Um , Senna is the only one I've seen do that in the 80s and 90s.
Tell me how many winners there have been that do not have some sort of edge. I am not saying you have to be a bit of a bastard but it helps!!! You certainly have to be very very selfish. As DW says he was not made of that sort of stuff.
@@con8v11 DW was better " cut" for WEC. Mario won the championship without winning a race in 78 but he had wins in other seasons. Senna was a bastard and a really good guy, when the racing was done or someone had a serious crash.
I never knew much about Wickens other than the fact that he was considered the fastest driver without a win. This was incredibly interesting to listen to.
