ken, I know the stats and I saw him live several times, we all have had our heroes and Nikki wasn't one of mine. As I said RIP and a good driver.
The races then were different, so were the cars, much more cut & thrust and the televised coverage was nothing like today's, (how did you watch him?) - F1 has all become so boring I never watch anymore.
Take no notice of what people say interviews, there was once a saying, "When the [starter's] flag drops, the bull-s h* tstops"
