Derek Stanley Arthur Warwick (born 27 August 1954) is a British former racing driver, who competed in Formula One between Template:Ifnumber and Template:Ifnumber.Template:Efn In endurance racing, Warwick won the World Sportscar Championship and 24 Hours of Le Mans, both in 1992 with Peugeot.

Born in New Alresford, Warwick was the older brother of Paul Warwick. He signed for Toleman in Template:Ifnumber, debuting at the Template:F1GP; he did not qualify in the TG181 until the season-ending Template:F1GP. In Template:Ifnumber, he achieved four podiums with Renault.

In 2005 and 2006, Warwick raced in the inaugural season of the Grand Prix Masters formula for retired Formula One drivers. He has served as the fourth steward for three Grands Prix in 2010 and 2011. He was president of the British Racing Drivers Club (2011-2017), succeeding Damon Hill and preceding Paddy Hopkirk.

Early life and career

Warwick was born in Alresford, Hampshire, England.[1] He began his career in British stock car racing under the Spedeworth organisation at tracks such as his local Aldershot Stadium. He won the Superstox English Championship in 1971 (at the age of 16) and the World Championship at Wimbledon Stadium in 1973.[2] His younger brother Paul also raced with some success in Superstox before progressing to Formula 3000, in which he was racing when killed in an accident in 1991.

Warwick finished runner-up in the 1978 British Formula 3 Championship.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Formula One (1981–1993)

Warwick began his Formula One career with the fledgling F1 team Toleman for the 1981 season. He managed to qualify for only one race that year, the season finale at Las Vegas.[1] Warwick had mainly dismal 1982 and 1983 seasons in the Toleman car, but bounced back, scoring points in the final four rounds of the 1983 championship.[3]

Warwick joined Renault in 1984 after Alain Prost left them at the end of 1983. Warwick, expecting to have a race-winning car, led the Brazilian Grand Prix, his first drive for them, only to retire because of a suspension failure caused by an early race wheel banging duel with the McLaren of Niki Lauda. He finished in second place in both the Belgian and British Grands Prix in Template:Ifnumber and placed seventh in the championship.[4] 1984 would prove to be the beginning of the end for the factory Renault team, the pioneers of turbocharging in Formula One. Neither Warwick nor new teammate Patrick Tambay won a race in 1984, the first time since Template:Ifnumber that the team did not win a Grand Prix.

The turning point in Warwick's career was his decision to stay at Renault for Template:Ifnumber and reject an offer to drive for Williams-Honda. The seat was then offered to Nigel Mansell who, accepting the position, went on to win two races at the end of the season. 1985 was a poor one for Renault and the team withdrew from Formula One at the end of the year. Renault's withdrawal, and Ayrton Senna's refusal to let Warwick join him as teammate at Lotus (using his contracted number one driver status in the team, Senna refused to have anyone but a pure #2 as his teammate as he believed Lotus were not capable of supporting two championship contending drivers), left Warwick without a team for the Template:Ifnumber season and he took up an offer to drive for Tom Walkinshaw's TWR Jaguar team in the World Sportscar Championship. Following the death of Elio de Angelis in a testing accident in May, however, Warwick was invited to take his place at Brabham. Unconfirmed rumours surfaced that Brabham owner Bernie Ecclestone had invited Warwick to take de Angelis's place as the Englishman was the only available top driver who had not actually contacted the team offering his services in the days following the Italian's untimely death. Warwick explained:

"I got a phone call from Bernie, who said that he really appreciated the fact that I didn't call him five minutes after Elio had died and would I like to drive for him."[2]

As no Grands Prix clashed with his Sportscar commitments, Warwick was able to race in both world championships.

In 1987, Warwick moved to the Arrows team alongside his Jaguar teammate Eddie Cheever, ending the season with three points scored. The 1988 season saw an improvement on the Arrows performance due to the powerful Megatron (a re-badged BMW M12) engine and Warwick finished seven times in the top-six, earning him 17 points and a respectable eighth position in the championship. His best race of the season was fourth in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza where he finished only half a second behind Cheever. Italy was also notable in that it was the first time since the beginning of 1987 that Arrows engine guru Heini Mader finally solved the problem with the FIA's mandatory pop-off valve which restricted turbo boost. For the first time this allowed both Warwick and Cheever to fully exploit the power of the Script error: No such module "convert". Megatron engine (restricted to 2.5 BAR boost in 1988) and be much closer to the front than they had been previously.

In 1989, victory eluded Warwick in two occasions. The first was in the Brazilian Grand Prix, when two disastrous pit-stops cost him more than the 17 seconds he finished behind winner Nigel Mansell. First he was stationary for 18 seconds (around 10 more than usual) due to a stuck rear wheel, then had the same problem at his second stop, compounded by Warwick stalling his engine. The second stop saw him stationary for 25 seconds. Going by time lost, had both stops been trouble free he could have won by around ten seconds. But more heartbreak was to came at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, when Warwick drove superbly and was leading the wet race, only to have his Ford V8 engine fail on lap 40 while in second place. Ayrton Senna, who had passed Warwick for the lead on lap 38, would himself retire when his McLaren's Honda V10 blew three laps from the finish. As Warwick was lapping much quicker than those behind him, including the V10 Williams-Renault of eventual winner Thierry Boutsen, it is possible he could have scored his first Grand Prix win had he finished. Reliability issues plagued Warwick's season and cost him good finishes in other races as well, resulting in only seven points for the season, the last of his three years and first stint with Arrows.

For the 1990 season, four years after Senna's veto, Warwick finally drove for Lotus who in 1990 would be using the Script error: No such module "convert". Lamborghini V12 engine. But the glory days of that team were over and the Lamborghini LE3512 proved both underpowered and unreliable (the Honda V10s in the McLarens were rated at around Script error: No such module "convert". and were far more reliable) and Warwick ended the season with a meagre three points tally. Warwick would later describe the Lamborghini as "All noise and no go" while also noting that the Lotus 102 was not a pleasant car to drive as its chassis would "flex", not just under power but also under breaking. His greatest achievement of the season happened at the 1990 Spanish Grand Prix where his teammate Martin Donnelly suffered a severe crash leaving Warwick to help morale at the team by qualifying in the top-ten only for the gearbox to fail ten laps from the end. Warwick himself had a somewhat terrifying crash at the Italian GP at Monza when on the last turn on the first lap at the Parabolica, the Lotus drifted wide to the left and off the track, collecting the barrier at speed before flipping over onto its side and roll cover while sliding down front straight with cars speeding past. Thankfully no other cars hit the stricken Lotus and an unhurt Warwick was able to scramble from his upturned car and actually run back to the pits to get into the spare car for the re-start (the race had been red flagged with the Lotus stuck in the middle of the track). To his credit, Warwick readily admitted to nothing more than driver error, just running too wide at the exit of the turn.[5]

In 1992, Warwick tested an IndyCar Lola T92/00 for Hall/VDS Racing for two days at Mid-Ohio in the off-season, to assess a possible move to CART for 1993.[6] Ultimately he did not and instead returned to Formula 1.

Warwick had firm offers of paid drives for 1993 with Jordan and Footwork and ultimately chose the latter. Warwick returned to Formula 1 following a 3-year sabbatical and completed the full season in 1993, but managed to score only four points. He ended his career with a total of 71 Grand Prix points.[1]

BBC Sport described Warwick as "the best British racing driver never to win a Grand Prix" in 2024.[7]

Sports and touring cars

Warwick also competed successfully in sports car racing, winning the World Sportscar Championship in 1992, and was part of the Peugeot team which was victorious at the 24 hours of Le Mans race that year. He drove sports cars for Jaguar in 1986 and 1991.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Honda CR-X Challenge

In 1988, Warwick made an appearance in the Celebrity Car in the inaugural Honda CR-X Challenge.[8]

Warwick entered a two-car team in the 1990 season. His drivers were mainly Robin Brundle (who won at Castle Combe) and Roland Dane (with whom, he would later set up Triple 8 Racing), although he raced himself at Donington Park and finished fifth.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". He also ran his brother Paul in a few rounds, peaking with third at Snetterton.[9][10]

British Touring Car Championship

Warwick raced in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) after retiring from Formula One, driving for the Alfa Romeo works team in 1995. Despite the team's domination the previous year, their car was underdeveloped this time, leading to a poor season. In the first race of the season at Donington Park, he crashed and flying debris broke a TV camera lens, an incident featured in the highlights screened by the BBC a week later, with commentator Murray Walker quipping that Warwick owed them £6,000 for the damage ("that'll be six grand please, Derek!").

After a year out of racing, Warwick co-founded the Triple Eight Racing team with Roland Dane and took over the running of the works Vauxhall 1997 BTCC entry, as well as owning three car dealerships in Southampton and Jersey. Originally set to be team principal, it was decided he would drive one of the cars alongside established Vauxhall driver John Cleland, winning a wet race at Knockhill in 1998. He retired from racing at the end of the year, but continued his involvement in the team for another three years.

Warwick now operates a Honda franchise in Jersey.[11]

Later life

Warwick notably deputised for Martin Brundle (who was racing at Le Mans) as Murray Walker's co-commentator on ITV for the 1998 Canadian Grand Prix. In 2005 and 2006, Warwick raced in the inaugural season of the Grand Prix Masters formula for retired Formula One drivers. In 2010, he served as the fourth steward for the Spanish and Hungarian Grands Prix. In 2011, Warwick served as the fourth steward for the 2011 Turkish Grand Prix. This role is given only to former racing drivers who advise the stewards panel on incidents from a driver perspective. He was president of the British Racing Drivers Club, after succeeding Damon Hill. Paddy Hopkirk replaced him as president of the BRDC in 2016.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

In 2015, Warwick received treatment for bowel cancer.[12]
