F1 drivers who raced on weekends off — as Max Verstappen joins exclusive group
Only a few modern F1 drivers have raced outside the championship mid-season. As Max Verstappen prepares to race at the Nürburgring, here's how his predecessors did
Motor Sport hosted a special evening in London on June 6 as a group of our enthusiastic readers joined us for a private viewing of the stunning new Ayrton Senna film.
We were honoured to be joined by the movie’s producer Manish Pandey and former McLaren team coordinator Jo Ramirez, the man who somehow managed to remain friends with both Senna and Alain Prost during their incendiary two years as team-mates in 1988-89. This is the full, unedited, recording of the open discussion after the film which included Jo, Manish, our editor-in-chief Nigel Roebuck and features editor Rob Widdows. We apologise for the sound – it was recorded live!
Do let us know your thoughts and keep checking the website for upcoming readers’ evenings. We’ll be doing plenty more.
