From the motorsport archive: Tyrrell seeks UK backing for hotshot Brundle
He then took the unorthdox step of asking for backing from British firms in the press, even revealing his monthly running costs: £161k .
To Ken’s lament, none was forthcoming, but his faith was instantly repaid, as Brundle finished fifth in Brazil and then an amazing second in Detroit, despite Tyrrell being one of just two teams still lacking a turbo engine. Sadly, his strong debut season was erased from the history books when the FIA judged the 012 to be breaking the rules about fuel flow.
An F1 win never did come, as he often had poor cars, but he retired in 1996 a highly respected veteran, then became a superb broadcaster.
