“Niki Lauda was the guy who signed me at Jaguar, but I never got to race for him because five minutes later he was gone! I still have very good memories of my time with the team: I really enjoyed working with the people there and it was nice for me to drive for a mid-grid team because it meant we were in the thick of it most weekends.

I had a love affair with the Michelin tyres over one lap, but I found it very difficult to make it last over a long stint. That usually made the races pretty exciting, but we managed a string of sixth places and that was satisfying.”
