BEYOND THE GRID: Enrique Bernoldi – the unsung driver from one of F1’s greatest rookie classes

With no World Championship points from 28 Grand Prix starts, it’s fair to say Enrique Bernoldi’s Formula 1 career took a very different path to Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen and Juan Pablo Montoya – his fellow rookies in 2001. In this episode of Beyond The Grid, brought to you by Salesforce, the Global Partner of Formula 1, host Tom Clarkson delves into Bernoldi’s fascinating backstory.
Without points in F1 though he may have been, the Brazilian still grabbed plenty of headlines during his brief stint in the fast lane with Arrows.
