Alex Ribeiro - BJ Aug 2008_80x127.jpgThis week we present the third and final part of our interview with former Brazilian motor racing champion, Alex Ribeiro (left). After one disappointing season with the March team in the late 1970s Alex thought his chances of driving again on the F1 Grand Prix circuit were over.  But, in a fascinating twist, he once again found himself behind the wheel of a car at the Grand Prix, but this time it was the medical car.  Alex tells us how he drove F1 doctor and President of the F1 Safety Commission, Professor Sid Watkins to tend to drivers injured in accidents at the races.  He recalls a narrow escape when a speeding car took off the door of his car just as he was about to step out to attend a crash.
