Tune in to this week's episode of Beyond The Grid with host Tom Clarkson as he chats with former Italian F1 driver Ivan Capelli, most aptly known for his time driving the iconic 'Miami blue' Leyton House March car in the late 1980s. It was for that underdog team that he scored three podiums, worked with a young and innovative designer by the name of Adrian Newey and caught the eye of Ferrari. As an Italian, a move to Maranello was a dream come true, but it soon turned into a nightmare that lasted less than a year. In a feature-length and highly engaging conversation, Ivan discusses all of the above and more – with wonderful anecdotes on Newey, Ken Tyrrell, Jean Alesi and more… Topics in this episode: 0:00 – Ivan Capelli achieved his racing dream, but it didn’t last long…
