I never liked his ruthless on track attitude. Very high skills though, no question. (His death was not necessary. the steering column broke IIRC....really no excuse for that sort of a failure). the Italian govt tried McClaren (is that right?) for murder, I believe and the top guy there had to stay out of Italy for a couple of years, I believe.

I really liked Gilles Villeneuve....and his son who had a much higher sense of protecting his own life. they both raced hard but clean and took no guff from anybody on track.

i remember a moment when Jaques was a rookie in Indycar, racing at Cleveland.....Robby Gordon (who I like very much too) tried an aggressive move on Jaques which forced Jaques to risk a wreck to stop a pass. Young Jaques fought Robby off and held his position as Robby ended up losing significant ground on the deal. I liked it very much!
