Oh, there are quite a few candidates for this, but the one that stands out is the weekend Stefan Johansson hit a deer in Friday practice at Austria in 1987. The deer had wandered out on to the track, and Stefan went straight into it full tilt. What a mess! The bodywork was smashed to bits, and we had to get a whole new chassis from Woking. But the worst thing was that there was blood and guts inside the wrecked cockpit and gore smeared all over what was left of the car. It was totally disgusting, and guess who had to clear it all up? I had a young assistant at the time, and after the remains had been dragged back to the garage we had to clean it all to assess the damage and work out what was salvageable and what wasn't. I don't think I've ever enjoyed anything less: the remains of this deer had worked themselves into every nook and cranny.
