He’s one of the most interesting characters in the F1 paddock: a
podium-scoring driver who remains just as busy today as he was
when he was racing. Then again, Alex Wurz was never your average
racer; from his unconventional introduction to speed as a BMX
world champion to airbrushing his own helmets to ensure they
looked correct. On this week’s episode, the affable Austrian
talks about both of those things, as well as the stand-out
moments from a fascinating career which included 69 Grand Prix
starts, surviving the fastest crash in F1 history, clocking over
100,000 test kilometers and winning Le Mans twice before moving
into the world of race track design, heading up the Grand Prix
Drivers Association and more.
