Derek Daly – F1 | The “forgotten” drivers of F1

1978 – Mo Nunn stressing the importance of a points paying finish to Derek Daly at the 1978 USGP. Daly missed out by two places at the Glen but the following week in Canada he netted a sixth place to insure the Ensign N177 would be on the grid for the start of the 1979 season.
