This F1 driver worked at the reception desk for one of the large manufacturers where he got his start. He achieved two podiums in F1 and later took the position of motorsport boss of the very company he drove for…the same company he was a receptionist for. He oversaw the successful campaign of this makers efforts in another series (not F1) in which, on one occasion, he actually took the wheel and won the race.
Who is he, what company, when and what alternate series race did he win while functioning as the motorsport boss at the time?
