About this episode
Marking 25 years since the passing of one of Formula 1's most iconic figures, Kevin Turner is joined by veteran motorsport journalist and author Maurice Hamilton for a deep dive into the life and legacy of Ken Tyrrell. From his post-war timber and lumber business to discovering a young Jackie Stewart at a rainy Goodwood test, Ken Tyrrell carved out a legendary path as an independent team boss. In this episode, Maurice shares intimate personal memories of Tyrrell—who became a surrogate father figure in the paddock—exploring the highs of world championship glory with Matra and Cosworth, the audacious six-wheeled P34 project, and the painful controversies of the 1984 season.
