LEGENDS: Jean Alesi’s one and only win
Notas del episodio
At the 1995 Canadian Grand Prix, Jean Alesi achieved the sole Grand Prix victory of his Formula 1 career.
Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Jean relives the standout moments from that unforgettable moment in Montreal – like only finding out from the fans that he was leading the race, doing a lap of honour on the back of Michael Schumacher’s car, and then being whisked to the Vatican in Rome to celebrate.
He talks about the emotions he felt when crossing the finish line and what he feels now when looking back – and whether only winning one race frustrates him.
