Sid Watkins is a hero. He was the F1 doctor on the scene for many, many years and greatly liked by the drivers. He was a good pal of my hero Ayrton Senna and on the scene when he died and he writes very touchingly of that moment......
It was a really interesting insight into one of the most essential parts of motorsport - the medical backup.
read this before, but it's still interesting account of the changes and event in F1 from the point of view of F1's doctor.
Not nearly as interesting as _Rapid_Response by Dr. Stephen Olvey. This one contains too much about the politics of F1 for my taste.
A little out of date now (15 years) but still a thoroughly interesting read. Huge respect for Sid Watkins and all the other medical professionals in F1, and the rest of Motorsport. There swift actions under pressure save so many lives. The Professor also comes across as a very honest and likeable character who doesn't take any crap from anyone - no matter who they are. Enjoyed it a lot.
