Satoru Nakajima

Satoru Nakajima (中島 悟 in Japanese; born 23 February 1953 in Okazaki, Aichi, Japan) is a former Japanese Formula One driver who competed for from till , and for from until as the teams' race driver. He is the father of former F1 driver, Kazuki Nakajima. His son has a younger brother, Daisuke Nakajima, who is currently competing in Super GT and Super Formula.
Nakajima whilst rarely competing among the drivers was remembered as a notoriously difficult driver to overtake whilst on-track. Most infamously, he was remembered as the driver whom prevented Ayrton Senna, his former teammate from taking victory at his home grand prix in the re-opening of the Interlagos circuit. 
Senna attempted an ill-fated move on Nakajima, only to lose his front wing and drop to third position. Ironically at the very next race, Nakajima would once again play havoc with Senna when he indirectly caused the champion's retirement after Senna ran over a piece of debris from Nakajima's crashed car.
