@moondog203 Exactly, its a pity Colin didn't get to see his cars go from the traditional naturally aspirated to the turbocharged monsters they'd become within 3 years.
Quite interesting that this is clearly a British-made broadcast, and all the focus is on Elio de Angelis. True, he was the number one driver in the team, but it just shows the lack of support Nigel Mansell had from the British media. Elio was a very talented driver (in my opinion, about equal to Mansell) but was favoured immeasurably by the team, particularly after Chapman's demise.
What an amazing piece of history. Old school meets new gen technology. From dudes with pencils & paper, and wooden models, to carbon fibre & kevlar and computers. Well worth watching, thanks for posting.

@donkeyjegg Yeah the reason why Nigel was able to stay at Lotus after Chapman died was because Lotus's sponsor John Player's.
