Between the 1988 Brazilian Grand Prix and 1991 Spanish Grand Prix, a span of 62 races, the Leyton House March Formula 1 team paired Ivan Capelli with Mauricio Gugelmin. Over those four years the pair shared plenty of heartache but also moments of triumph. The stalwart pair logged four podiums, three of which came from Capelli, who needs no second invitation to name Gugelmin as his favourite team-mate.
“We were really sharing the project of Leyton House,” says Capelli, for whom 1988 was his first season with a full-time team-mate since he’d been paired with Bernard Santal at Coloni on his way to the 1984 European Formula 3 title.
