  • What an honour it was to chat to Derek in his F1 GTR! Ignoring value, which of the 3 Harrods cars in this video would you take home? F1, P1, or Senna? 🧐
  • Wonderful interview in an incredible setting! Jodie’s ‘gentle touch’ in guiding the conversation is so effective.
  • That shot with the F1, P1 and Senna; All in their GTR liveries. My eyes are all tears

    Getting Derek to talk about his best day with son Justin racing on Father's Day at LeMans about broke you both and all of us viewing up. That was a masterful piece of cinematography, there is no other way to put it. Well done Jodie, well done.

    Derek Bell is always such a gentleman whenever I’ve seen him interviewed. Fantastic job! Great interview.

    Le Mans legend! I was walking from Houx to the track a couple of years ago, while crossing the car park I noticed Mr Bell getting out of his car. Being within earshot I overheard him commenting to his wife that he had left his credentials in the car, and wouldn’t be able to get to wherever he was going, without them. His wife I think replied, they will obviously know who you are, but he was insistent that he should return to get them. I remember thinking what a humble man, having achieved such greatness at such a hallowed track, he didn’t seem to think he had the god given right to strut around like he owned the place, quite clearly if any one had earned the right it was him! What a great, charming, and unassuming gentleman. Great interview of a great man!

    One of the best videos I've seen this week. The quality on display for this channel is something to be incredibly proud of. Keep it up Kidd :)
  • @PaulB58
    Love Jodie's enthusiasm for all things Motorsport and she's a good listener which a lot of interviewers lack these days
  • @johnhall412
    That last part seeing him drive off and then the blended footage new and old really got me choked up, what a wonderful film thank you so much for doing this
  • @chrisc475
    Jesus Jodie, how the hell are you going to top this? I've thought that a few times but this just HAS to be the ultimate. Wonderful stuff!
  • @varunreddy9359
    Never thought a car would make me cry.Thank you Mclaren for this masterpiece.

    What a treat this episode was! Derek Bell must be one of the nicest guys in motor racing. I've been lucky enough to meet him around Goodwood on several occasions, and he's always got time to chat to his fans. After five minutes you think you've known him since forever. He has every right to be the big "Star", yet he's remained firmly "One of us." Long may he continue to grace our circuits!
  • Derek Bell, a drivers driver and a true gentleman. My son and I had the pleasure of meeting him at Leguna Seca a few years ago. He was heading to the parking lot and stopped to talk with my son about qualifying the 917 at Lemans. He never seemed like he had something more important to do. When the conversation was done, he headed to the parking lot. A couple days later I discovered where he was going. He had had to get to Monterey to drive a Ferrari 250 GTO through an auction. A truely humble man who is very gracious with his time! Exceptional interview, by the way. You have my subscription.
  • @sevesellors2831
    Wonderful interview and Derek is a great driver and a true gentleman always a favourite of mine, a class act.

    To this day...the F1 GTR is still unmatched in looks and style and will always retain the title of King of all cars.!💖 It was a very beautiful video to watch a legend like Derek Bell to speak of his experience...like the other legends before him, there are certain drivers/pilots that just stand apart from the crew and Derek is certainly one of the best in this day and age.💛👍🤘
  • @robman80808
    What a lovely, respectful interview. Thanks Jodie!
  • @chrismc1977
    Great interview. Derek still looks remarkable after all these years & given his age. What a legend!
  • I love these interviews by Jodie, so passionate, not robotic like other, by far my favourite channel on here ❤
