I can't believe Derek Daly overtook someone

One of my favourite races, the show could only have been improved if Hunt and Stewart had shared the commentary box..........................James would have lamped him within minutes!!

Daly must have felt like the luckiest man in the world to find himself in that Williams. The guy went from THE worst car on the grid to the one that would win the World Championship. Just another quirky anecdote from the incredible '82 campaign.

Story is FW said "Why don't we sign Derek?", meaning Warwick, at Toleman at the time and not having a good time of it, and the man responsible for the contracts thought he meant Derek Daly and went and signed him up. Think Warwick might have made a better fist of it than Mr Daly. Poor old DW always in the the wrong car at the wrong time.

One other quick point of Daly, the only race (I think) in 1982 he out qualified Rosberg was the Swiss GP and that's only because he took a short cut and reduced the lap by a couple of corners.
