Biography

Warwick made his F1 debut in 1981, driving for the Toleman team. He only qualified for one race, from which he retired. Another difficult couple of seasons followed before Warwick moved to the Renault team for the 1984 season. That was his most successful year in Formula One, with two second places and two third places achieved during the season.

He subsequently drove for Brabham, Arrows, Lotus and Footwork, before retiring from the sport in 1993. He has driven for the Peugeot team at Le Mans, and spent some time participating in the British Touring Car Championship as well.
