Damon / Williams piece on Sky F1?

[lotus72]

lads, I read last week (I think) that Sky F1 had filmed a piece at Silverstone with Damon and the FW16. I recorded all of Sunday's output but didn't see it. Does anyone know if it has aired yet, or maybe they are keeping it back for the last race of the season. The reason I'm asking is that I know Damon's No.1 Mechanic from 94-96 (he's back in Australia these days) and he would like a copy. Thankyou!

I believe they are holding it for the last race along with the second instalment of "A Visit To Bernie's"

[lotus72]

Excellent, thanks for that.

A visit to Bernie's what?

Bank account?

Underground secret lair?

Loo?

[NM62]

Sorry - Ranch outside São Paulo. Interesting interview too.

[F1GTRUeno]

Sure it was the FW16 and not the FW18?

Or was it Senna related so all about the car he crashed in?

[lotus72]

....might have been the 18.

It wasn't just Sky F1. Karun Chandok was there too, and driving an old Williams (Mansell-era).

Bump to say the Damon / Williams piece is on today before Qualifying for those waiting for it.

Thanks.
Interesting that Rothmans has been replaced by racing even though the car had Rothmans on it when he won the title in Suzuka.

Ciggie logos could not be shown at certain venues. That had been in place since the early 80s.

[NM62]

... and the FULL piece on tomorrow - the taster was good.

[lotus72]

Yes indeed, caught the full piece before the race this afternoon, thanks all. I've even just now downloaded the version from the Sky VR app on my mobile as well....it's a different edit that was on the TV.

Was it the Lotus JPS all in black that started my 40 a day habit. all seems a bit silly now.

Great looking car. Did anyone else note the "Senna" S logos on the sides of the front nose cone?

They're on every Williams since 94, even this years car has them.

Hill thing was good. He must have loved being back in the car! Could see the emotion. Touching given his now well publicised demons post F1.

Regarding Brundle and Bernie

"You're not the most physically scary bloke, it must be said. But people are scared of you aren't they. Why ARE people scared of you?"
"I've no idea why. They NEED to be, but I've no idea why"



"I've got something that's kept me in good stead for a long time. Don't get mad, get even. So if someone does something bad to me. I wait"

I do love Bernie! Just a shame that so few interviews get below what he wants you to know. And he's not the type to write a full autobiography.

For a rare interview. Turns out he's in favour of Leaving Europe. And going off topic Sorrell is an idiot! Particularly on his day to day knowledge of F1 given he works at it!

(And his view on how amazing immigration has been. But that's for another thread )
