He may not be a household name, but Jo Ramirez is one of those
people who has seen it all and worked with them all. He broke
into F1 in the 1960s, working with emerging superstar Ricardo
Rodriguez. His Mexican countryman sadly perished before his star
had truly emerged, but by then Ramirez was set on a path that
would eventually see him work with Jackie Stewart at Tyrrell,
Emerson Fittipaldi at Copersucar, and - most famously - with
Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost at McLaren in the midst of their
bitter rivalry.

This week on Beyond The Grid, Ramirez - a former mechanic, team
manager and co-ordinator - lifts the lid of his four decades in
motor racing’s premier category, from his early years working
alongside a young Ron Dennis and Dan Gurney, to his latter years
alongside Mika Hakkinen.
