He’s a Zandvoort ‘beach boy’, who became a local hero in F1.
Racing in the Dutch Grand Prix was a dream come true for Jan
Lammers, but he struggled to show his speed in Formula 1 and
dropped out of the sport after 4 difficult seasons. He was always
determined to return to motorsport’s pinnacle and waited a record
10 years for his chance. Jan tells Tom Clarkson about his rise
from junior European champion to F1, the impact impatience had on
his career, how bad luck repeatedly ruined his best chances of a
life changing F1 result, and how a change in attitude and focus
on learning helped him take Le Mans victory in 1988 and return to
F1 after his decade away. Today, Jan is Sporting Director of his
hometown racetrack, Zandvoort, and is working to make the Dutch
Grand Prix a spectacular and sustainable event.
