All smiles as Henton and Warwick meet again at Silverstone, but behind the wheel old rivalries quickly resurfaced
Before we go back to the history, can we start with what it was like to drive the Toleman TG280 again after 40 years?
Derek Warwick, Toleman team driver: “I was stunned how comfortable I felt. I was almost flat through Copse. The car was amazingly balanced, and I was pushing it. Unfortunately, I only had a short run and I would have loved to go out again. It was so easy to predict what it was doing, there was no snappiness. Just a bit of understeer, but I think that was the tyres more than the car. I didn’t want to do it, to be honest. I know what I’m like and I know I will push too much too soon! But I was nowhere near its maximum, and I was on top of it. It’s put a big smile on my face.”
