Profile of Derek Warwick on Famous Like Me

Derek Stanley Arthur Warwick (born Alresford, Hampshire, England, 27 August 1954) was a British racing driver. He raced for many years in Formula One, but never won a Grand Prix. He is considered to be among the best F1 drivers never to have done so. When he joined Renault in 1984 after success with Toleman, he expected to have a race-wining car, but after retiring from the lead on his first drive for them, he was never in contention again. He had 2 spells with the Arrows F1 team, regularly scoring points in 1988.

Warwick raced successfully in sports car racing, winning the World Sportscar Championship in 1992, and was also part of the Peugeot team which was victorious at the 24 hours of Le Mans race that year. He drove sports cars for Jaguar in 1986 and 1991. He raced in the BTCC after retiring from Formula 1, winning a famous wet race at Donington in 1998, and co-founding 888 Racing to run Vauxhalls in the series. Earlier in his career, he also won the 1978 British Formula Three Championship.

He scored 71 Grand Prix points.
