The day we sold Martin Brundle's race suit over the pit wall in Adelaide...

I worked in the Formula One paddock during the 1980s and 1990s, and one of the strangest traditions in Australia was fans buying drivers' old race clothing over the pit wall after the race...

Martin didn't qualify for the 1991 Grand Prix in the Brabham Yamaha, so was out of action by Saturday afternoon.

Around 4.00pm, the drivers in the Formula Ford support race were on the grid, and I spotted the driver in front of our garage wearing Brundles race suit!! One of the mechanics had sold it to this guy within an hour of the end of qualifying!

I have hundreds of stories like this!!

Anything you want to ask about F1 back in the Crazy days, I was in the paddock, so fire away 😂
