Gary Hartstein: The ex-F1 doc speaks
Since losing his job as F1 medical delegate in 2012, the vocal Dr Gary Hartstein is still pushing for safety reform in the sport, as he tells MAURICE HAMILTON for AUTOSPORT's sister publication F1 Racing
"I'm a lot more outspoken now because I have nothing to lose. I live well with that because I did a decent job. The people whose respect means something to me, they respect me."
Appropriately, Dr Gary Hartstein and I have arranged to meet in Murray's at Northamptonshire's Whittlebury Hall - a restaurant that pays homage to commentator Murray Walker.
