Ayrton Senna and other gems - The Racer's Edge Episode 25

Published on Aug 22, 2013
As the internet continues to open doors for motor racing fans around the world, we talk to Richard Wiseman, one of the brightest young archive producers in the industry. Richard unearthed a massive amount of new film material for the recent - and highly-acclaimed - BBC TV documentary about James Hunt and Niki Lauda and has plenty of mouth-watering ideas about the still-unseen (and until now forgotten) motor racing material that lies out there in film studios, TV networks or even private attics around the world. ln concert with that, we also talk to former Lotus (and McLaren) engineer, Steve Hallam, about working with Ayrton Senna in 1985 - the year Ayrton won his first GP with John Player Team Lotus. A student of the sport with a vivid memory for detail, Steve paints a lucid picture of Ayrton's sensitivity and spacial awareness. Finally, as F1's sleepy August break gives way to the weekend's activities in the Ardennes forest, in Spa, Belgium, we call in on Mark Webber for a light-hearted chat. In "Not the F1 Interview" Mark talks about the woes of Australian cricket, his yearnings to visit new countries, learning to fly helicopters and the menagerie that now populates the Webber household.
