I still have the video that I took in the pits during practice for the 1991 WSC race at Silverstone. Michael was trying too hard to catch the Jaguar’s, spun and then behaved very badly by carving up Derek Warwick and hid in his caravan when Derek went to talk about it. Never was a nicer guy than Derek too.
At lunch time the two young German drivers were to be found in the bookshop. Martin Brundle spent the day proving how very fast he was in A WSC car, the star of the show.

At this point Doug, I think your concept is as viable as any other.

Hmm going to throw a longshot into the mix and suggest the possibility of Mika Hakkinen considering his close ties to the team, and he is of the same age as schummie.

Yes you will probably shoot me down but worth a punt.

Totally agree. I lusted after a Jaguar XJR14 as a kid…but had to settle for the Matchbox version!

Great re-visit of Schumi history Keith. Super job mate…as usual. Keep up the terrific work.

which is the bigger of these failures?

1. FIA killing series by ineptitude in the early 90′s

2. ACO/FIA and their “homologated” prototypes of the late 90′s
