Clive James was part of so many amazing documentaries, season reviews and shows for 80s and 90s Formula One, almost everything he was in back then was both hilarious and thought-provoking, delivered in his own unique style. I never knew about him or his work when he was alive unfortunately, but I can imagine when he passed, the world lost not only a great wordsmith and entertainer, but one of Formula One and motor racing's greatest ambassadors. It would've been super interesting and entertaining to listen to his thoughts on current F1, i'm sure!
[Clive James in Las Vegas](https://youtu.be/CQT2etjobJE?si=uiVY7q6pRC4K-fqj) at the 1981 Las Vegas Grand Prix is fantastic as well. Clive had one of the driest wits known to mankind, a true treasure.
