For the latest episode of F1 Book Club, exclusively for Race Members, host Edd Straw was delighted to welcome legendary F1 and sportscar driver Derek Warwick onto the show to discuss his incredible new tome: Derek Warwick: Never Look Back - The racing life of Britain’s double world champion.

In a heartfelt and at times emotional conversation, Warwick explains the part having cancer played in his decision to write the book, the role ghost writer (and friend) David Tremayne played in the process, and the 'naughty' stories he was so keen to tell.

Amongst the topics covered are Warwick’s career choices, his up and down F1 career, his championship-winning exploits in sportscars, and more. He also opens up on the challenges of being an F1 driver steward and poignantly explains the impact of his brother’s tragic death on his own racing career.

Derek Warwick: Never Look Back - The racing life of Britain’s double world champion is published by EVRO Publishing and is available from all good booksellers.
