Autosport Magazine
Autosport is the UK's must-read motorsport magazine! It is revered by fans and industry personnel alike as the ultimate source of motorsport news and analysis.
Professor Sid Watkins died last week at the age of 84 having spent much of the past 34 years deeply involved in making Formula 1 safer. He also offered medical advice and care for team mechanics and anyone else associated with the sport.
In this week's AUTOSPORT magazine we hear from Dr James Palmer about the life and work of the man affectionately dubbed 'Prof' outside F1, and we examine some of the important moments in his career - including the drivers whose lives he saved and the safety improvements he insisted on.
