Former McLaren and Ferrari Formula 1 driver Stefan Johansson will be joining us for our next Motor Sport podcast.
The F1 veteran came close to victory at the 1985 San Marino Grand Prix but ended his F1 career without a win.
He started out in karts and moved to Formula 3 and Formula 2, racing for Spirit in F1 and sharing a Porsche 956 with Bob Wollek in a sport car racing stint.
Ferrari and McLaren – with Alain Prost as team-mate – followed. Moneytron-backed Onyx gave him a podium but Johansson would soon move to Champ Cars and endurance racing, taking wins at Sebring and Le Mans.
Field your questions to Stefan Johansson in the comment section below.
