Former Formula 1 driver Martin Donnelly, whose horrific near-death crash inspired Sonny Hayes' wreck in the F1 movie, is preparing to 'find closure' as he returns to the cockpit of an F1 car in Adelaide over 35 years on.
The British driver suffered a mechanical failure in his Lotus F1 car during qualifying for the 1990 Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez, which led him to crash into the barriers. Donnelly has taken part in F1 demonstration events since, but has not done anything more than that.
