Julian Bailey

Julian Bailey is the kind of name only proper Formula One obsessives remember, and I have a soft spot for drivers like him. Racing for Tyrrell and Lotus in the late 1980s and early 1990s, he was operating in an era where the gap between the front-runners and everyone else was brutal. Coming from Woolwich in England, he never had the machinery to show what he could really do, which makes his story feel a little bittersweet. To me he represents that whole tier of talented grinders who kept the grid honest without ever getting the spotlight. Quietly part of the sport's fabric.
