i grew up watching cleland the bloke was a legend bit short tempered sometimes
i remember watching a race at silverstone where him and some bmw driver fight it out in the end he ended up crashing into the bmw shortly after they were both out of the race


EDIT looking again i think it might have been this picture here shortly afterwards the bmw took cleland out if i'm right
