About this episode
The final lap of a rare 3-parter and he saves some cracking yarns for it.
How the so called Piranha Club move to promote Michael Schumacher to Benetton came at his expense. The fallout from that and a 3am phone call from Eddie Jordan to get Roberto to drive for him. Let’s just say he hung up on him a few times.
Finding a way to pre-qualify for minnow teams when on paper they were no chance and the incredible reception from pitlane when he did as well as sliding doors moments that seemed like devine intervention.
And how Indycar welcomed Roberto back when his time in F1 came to an end adding emotional victories in the US to his CV.
Special thanks to the team at the Hampton Downs Circuit in New Zealand where we recorded this ep and the crew at Kiwi Motorsport for giving us access to Roberto while he was back in NZ working a race driver coach.
