John Surtees - Motorsport Legend
Memories of the only driver to win the world championship in Formula 1 and motorcycle racing
In 1964, the British driver became the first - and only - person to win the World Championships in both Formula One and Grand Prix motorcycle-racing. The unique double made John Surtees one of the most famous names in the sport - but his career was overshadowed by the death of his son in a motor-racing accident in 2009. John Surtees talks to David Prest for Sporting Witness. The programme is a Whistledown Production.
