He was in the top handful of drivers of his era, generally known as the best F1 driver to never win the championship. No doubt he could have won numerous ones driving for a top team but he loved Rob Walker and liked driving British cars. His career was ended from a massive brain trauma in 61 iirc.
How he survived the elevator fall in his eighties was astonishing.
His attitude about safety devices was mystifying to me.
