Martin Quote
In Qualifying I loved Martin talking about how times have changed. After Kovi had his tests to see if he was fit. Martin remembered having had a really bad crash. Ken Tyrrell said, "you've got to go out you've only got 8 minutes left to qualify".
Martin said, "okay, no problem what circuit am I at?"
Awesome. Obviously I'm glad we're not running in that situation anymore, but I'm also glad that Martin is around to tell us what it was like.
Also this is SofaF1's 500th Post! Happy 500th SofaF1!!!

I think he gives a fuller account of this anecdote in his book 'Working the Wheel', but I'm not sure. Either way, it's an interesting read. I can lend it to you if you don't have it.
Rereading a bit of the book I've discovered that, coincidentally, it was at Monaco that this incident happened. Reading the chapter on the track is a good way to get excited about a weekend.
