Dear Nigel,
Based on what you have seen in last 30 years, how would you review your Top 10 list that was published in the book (itals) The Grand Prix Drivers (Racing heroes from Fangio to Prost) issued in 1987? Many thanks in advance for your attention.

Few people would be taken seriously after making such a statement. Comparing Lewis Hamilton to Jim Clark? Dangerous territory. But if anyone has a right to mention both in the same breath it’s Sir Jackie Stewart. It’s fair to say he knows what he’s talking about.

Dear Nigel,
In June of 1977 I was wandering through the paddock of Mont Tremblant when I found myself standing in front the Wolf Can-Am car… These where those modified F5000 cars. (This was the weekend Brian Redman’s car got airborne on the back straight and Brian had quite an accident.) I remember looking directly into one driver’s eyes and he looked tired and frankly a bit scared. The driver of course was Chris Amon and I think this was his last motor race. I had seen Chris race in many Canadian Grand Prix and Can-Am races at Mosport and St Jovite. I had to wonder how such a talented drive ended up in that car. What are your recollections of the latter stages of Chris Amon’s career?

Parnelli Jones is one of the living legends of American racing, up there in the pantheon with Mario Andretti, AJ Foyt and Dan Gurney. Jones dominated three of the seven Indy 500s he started and won the race in 1963, beating Jim Clark. He looked to be a clear winner… Read more
The new issue of Motor Sport, on sale now, is a very special one for all of us on the magazine. Producing each edition always has a ‘labour of love’ element to it, but that feeling was heightened as we worked towards deadline this time. And it was all down… Read more
