Since South Africa 1993, Beat Zehnder has not missed a Formula 1
Grand Prix. Hungary 2022 was his 538th race weekend, and he’s
spent them all with the same team. Once it was known as Sauber,
today it’s Alfa Romeo. Before joining Sauber, Beat was a ship
engine mechanic. He was kicked out of his first job interview
with the Swiss racing team because he had no interest in
motorsport. How and why, then, has he spent so long in Formula 1?
Beat tells Tom Clarkson incredible stories of the tiny Sauber
team’s amazing entry into F1, and its repeated struggles for
survival. Schumacher, Frentzen, Raikkonen, Kubica, Vettel and
Leclerc are just some of the drivers Beat has worked with, but
who does he call ‘the most complete’ of them all? Beat’s love for
the sport was shaken at times of tragedy, but his loyalty and
love of teamwork have never faltered.
