Former F1 champion Sir Jackie Stewart and Williams driver Kazuki Nakajima have been proving that a racing driver just cannot resist the thrill of a race - no matter what the mode of transport. The duo took part in a dragon boat race in the run-up to the Singapore Grand Prix this weekend.
Given Nakajima´s beaming face, we are not convinced he is quite putting 100 per cent into the race. But then again Stewart does not seem to be working them too hard from the coxen’s seat. That is as close as Nakajima will get to the front of the grid this week!
Let a young Murray Walker take you through the closing stages of the 1969 Italian Grand Prix at Monza. With just a few corners to go until the chequered flag, no less than four drivers - Jochen Rindt, Jackie Stewart, Bruce McLaren and Jean-Pierre Beltoise - had a chance of victory. Who won? You’ll have to watch the clip to find out.
The key reaction to Herr von Mosley’s amazing win in Paris:
1.“I am just picking myself up off the floor. The decision is incredible, although I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised. Max’s audacity has always been absolutely breathtaking. Just when you think he is right on the ropes, he pings back and knocks the other guy out.“ Damon Hill, not happy with the result. He also called it a “tragedy”
2. “I had a £50 bet on this and I have won.” Sir Jackie Stewart, branded a “certified halfwit” by Mosley earlier this week, lives up to Scottish stereotypes
