Tyrrell Racing

But as you say, Matt, it wasn't actually the things he did in F1 that gave him that popularity.

But let's potentially stick with the Cartman theme because the next one comes from James W who suggests Mark Blundell and James says Mark was a great driver won Le Mans and won races in kart even managed F1 podiums with Ligier and Tyrrell long after their glory days unlucky to get into McLaren during their lost period in the mid 90s

He is both a V10sman and a Cartman.

I'm

uh occasionally showed up in the tyrol as well something about him being the other finnish mika also contributes to the myth i love that bit he was because the fact that we had two fins and f1 at the same time one of them's right at the front and mega but they're both called mika there was a brief point in my childhood where i just assumed everyone finnish was called mika and yana oivio says um perhaps proving that not all fins are called mika He's another one in the group of what-if drivers.

And what sets him apart is the short stint at Ferrari that produced two memorable podiums.

His best drives at Tyrrell and Arrows always evoke the requisite, what if he had a shot in a proper team? And Janna also mentioned the no-stop race at Monaco in 97, which I was glad to see that get in there.

And Janna agrees with the other Mika element, saying that is 100% completion rate in the, oh yeah, that guy, a memorability requirement of a Barclaysman.

Sorry, by one of the Lotuses, 72s, is being held up.

I think it's Ronnie in the Tyrrell is getting held up at Monaco, and Ken Tyrrell runs down to the Lotus pit to say to Colin Chapman, "Tell your driver to let mine past.

Uh, he's holding him up." And Colin says, "Tell your driver to overtake." Uh, yeah, that's good.

I've always said, you know, one of the things that F1 is also missing, I've got about nine things now, haven't I? Spare cars, uh, filming the driver briefings, uh, GoPros in the road cars when they're driving back to the hotel, lots of internal footage of what goes on behind the scenes in the garage, in the catering, in the sponsorship, all those different departments, and back at the factory.
