Jenson Button. Jacques Villeneuve. Colin McRae. Sebastian Loeb.
The list of elite racing drivers David Richards has led is long
and legendary. As an F1 Team Principal in the 2000s, he, Button
and the BAR team challenged Ferrari for race wins. David tasted
podium champagne, but the bottle never had ‘1st’ printed on it.
Not so in the World Rally Championship and at Le Mans, where his
teams and drivers have won a multitude of titles. David tells Tom
Clarkson the story of his incredible life in motorsport: success
in rallying, decades in F1 with Benetton, BAR and Honda, and he
remembers the behind the scenes negotiations to bring his own
company, Prodrive, onto the grid. Plus, desert racing with
Sebastian Loeb, Extreme E with Lewis Hamilton’s team and his
ongoing work to make motorsport more inclusive and sustainable as
chair of Motorsport UK.
