Kevin Magnussen: 'McLaren chose me over Button. Then the shareholders overruled everyone'
Kevin Magnussen speaks openly about his struggles after losing his McLaren F1 drive in 2015 and the "unfair" pressure he had from the team
Motor Sport hosted a special evening in London on June 6 as a group of our enthusiastic readers joined us for a private viewing of the stunning new Ayrton Senna film.
We were honoured to be joined by the movie’s producer Manish Pandey and former McLaren team coordinator Jo Ramirez, the man who somehow managed to remain friends with both Senna and Alain Prost during their incendiary two years as team-mates in 1988-89. This is the full, unedited, recording of the open discussion after the film which included Jo, Manish, our editor-in-chief Nigel Roebuck and features editor Rob Widdows. We apologise for the sound – it was recorded live!
Do let us know your thoughts and keep checking the website for upcoming readers’ evenings. We’ll be doing plenty more.
