BEYOND THE GRID LEGENDS: Commentator Martin Brundle on his F1 debut with Ayrton Senna
In 1984, Martin Brundle and Ayrton Senna made their Formula 1 debuts. They had just fought each other in an epic battle for the 1983 British Formula 3 title. But while there was little to separate the duo in junior racing, their F1 careers panned out very differently.
As Senna went on to achieve hero status as a triple world champion, Brundle’s 12-year career was significantly shaped by very serious injuries he suffered in just his ninth Grand Prix.
Speaking to host Tom Clarkson in the latest of F1’s Beyond The Grid’s LEGENDS episodes, Martin describes in great detail the crash that caused his injuries, how close he came to losing his foot, and what impact that had on the rest of his time in F1.
