After a titanic duel with Brazilian Ayrton Senna, both men graduated to Formula One in 1984. Martin drove for the Tyrrell Racing Organisation for three seasons, scoring a 2nd place in the US Grand Prix in Detroit in 1984, among other podium finishes. Martin later went on to compete in the World Sportscar Championship, American IMSA series, and Le Mans 24 Hours sports car race, achieving multiple victories and a World Sportscar Championship title for Jaguar.

In 1997, Martin joined ITV Sport as a commentator, where he worked alongside the legendary Murray Walker for 12 seasons. He later moved to the BBC and, in 2012, joined Sky Sports F1, where he continues to broadcast to English-speaking audiences worldwide. With six Royal Television Society awards and four BAFTA awards for Best Sporting Programme, Martin is widely regarded as one of the most respected and insightful voices in motorsport.
