Indeed, Frank Williams is one hard *******, programme brought a tear to my eye. Your whole life shattered by a gung ho bit of driving on the way to the airport. His wife was a one off too.

F1 was the sport of the fearless prior to all the safety regulations. Was it four drivers killed in 4 races at one time?

As you say, very moving as well as incredibly interesting.
