Hi F1 Rejects readers!
The RichardsF1.com team has successfully secured an interview with Ron Tauranac, esteemed designer for the likes of Brabham (which he briefly owned), Trojan, Theodore etc, as well as founder of the famous Ralt chassis-building group.
I'd like to ask for your suggestions as to some of the questions to ask him in the interview, so if you could include these in your replies I would be very grateful!
We also have interviews with Caterham F1 protege Alexander Rossi due to be published, and there is also an upcoming one with F1 Reject Raul Boesel! Both will be published in the next month or so.

Ye gods. I thought Ron Tauranac was dead. This should make interesting reading...
On reflection, I was probably thinking of someone else associated with Brabham, but Sir Jack and the money-grabbing scarecrow are both definitely still with us.

James Allen, on his favourite F1 engine of all time:
"...the Life W12, I can't describe the noise to you, but imagine filling your dustbin with nuts and bolts, and then throwing it down the stairs, it was something akin to that!"

Well it's not Charlie Whiting, Ron Dennis, John Judd, "Herbie" Blash or Gordon Murray.

Denny Hulme?
