On the left is John Watson, and he is being interviewed for Silverstone Television by former Top Gear presenter Chris Goffey. John Watson drove in Formula 1 from 1973 to 1985 for various teams, including Brabham and Surtees, but most successfully for McLaren from 1979 to 1985. He won his first Grand Prix when driving for the Penske team in the 1976 Austrian Grand Prix - the only Grand Prix to have been won by a Penske - but his best season was for McLaren in 1982 when he finished in third place in the World Championship, winning the Grands Prix of Belgium and Detroit, starting in seventeenth place on the grid in the latter race. The previous season he had won the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. At this Silverstone meeting in 1996 he drove a Brabham BT34 as part of a track demonstration celebrating Jack Brabham and his cars.
