Until being injured at the 1997 Canadian Grand Prix, Olivier was one of the top drivers in Formula 1, with a magnificent win at Monaco in 1996. Unfortunately his F1 career never really hit the same consistent heights again. When he left F1, he worked as a test driver and then eased back into the sport through ice-racing, before becoming a sportscar and GT driver. From the start of 2012, he was only racing in French GT's and the Andros Trophy, after deciding to retire from all other racing and in 2015, retired from French GT's. Olivier now runs a team in the European Le Mans Series and also commentates on the World Touring Car Championship for Eurosport. His son is also now racing.
