Derek Daly: Mine worker to F1, Monaco & the crash that almost killed him

Derek Daly has one of the most extraordinary stories in motorsport history. A kid from Dublin who worked iron ore mines in Australia to fund his racing career, went from Formula Ford to Formula 1 in 14 months, and became the only driver in history to finish first AND second in the same race.

In this episode of Racers Unchained, Paul Tracy sits down with Derek for a wide-ranging conversation that covers his unlikely rise through the ranks, the most dangerous era of Formula 1, a heartbreaking near-miss at Monaco, and a crash at Michigan that by all accounts should have ended his life – and a whole lot more.
