In 1984, Martin Brundle and Ayrton Senna made their Formula 1
debuts.

They had just fought each other in an epic battle for the 1983
British Formula 3 title. But while there was little to separate
the duo in junior racing, their F1 careers panned out very
differently.

As Senna went on to achieve hero status as a triple World
Champion, Brundle’s 12-year career was significantly shaped by
very serious injuries he suffered in just his ninth Grand Prix.

Speaking to Tom Clarkson in the latest of F1 Beyond The Grid’s
LEGENDS episodes, Martin describes in great detail the crash that
caused his injuries, how close he came to losing his foot, and
what impact that had on the rest of his time in F1.

Brundle also talks about why he and Tyrrell Racing were
disqualified in his first season, what it was like being a rookie
back then, how Schumacher was different to Senna, where he thinks
Adrian Newey’s future might lie, his thoughts on F1’s global
standing, and much more.
