During his ten year career, Belgian driver Thierry Boutsen
delivered consistently. He stacked up 164 races, 15 podiums and 3
Grand Prix wins; even beating the legendary Ayrton Senna to the
top of the podium when driving for Williams at the Hungaroring in
1990. Thierry has always been driven by his passions, his love of
speed began racing motorbikes in rainy Belgian woodland where he
would develop the skills that would eventually help him take his
first victory in difficult conditions at the 1989 Canadian Grand
Prix. His Formula One debut was with Arrows at his home race in
Spa in 1983, the same track it would end on a decade later when
he briefly joined the Jordan team. Thierry tells Tom Clarkson all
about his journey to F1, the race wins that define his career,
his deep interest in engineering and his close bond with good
friend Ayrton Senna.
