Derek Bell drove for [Ferrari](https://www.f1-fansite.com/f1-teams/ferrari-f1-information-statistics/ "Ferrari F1 Team Stats & Info") in Formula 1 and then went on to dominate at Le Mans, with five victories.

Bell made his F1 debut with Ferrari, handpicked by Enzo Ferrari himself, and he then became a legendary sportscar driver.

He also won the Daytona 24 (three times) and much more.

Here he is talking to F1: Beyond The Grid podcast's host Tom Clarkson.
