Thanks for this. He was the best, and the racing hero of my youth. Saw him at the Glen in 64 and 65. Got drafted when tranferring schools in 66. Went into the Army and got sent to Germany instead of Nam. What luck! All the legendary races and tracks I'd dreamed of getting to some day. Was stationed near Manheim. Saw a poster for Hockenheim with Clark & Hill and F-2. A racing fan friend and I went....you know the rest. I still can't believe it.
An amazing and honorable man. Incredible how talented he was and also how he could drive any type of race car. He passed way too soon but will never be forgotten.
Sometimes I'm just so sad, that I wasn't even born back then... From the legends, the only one I saw, was Schumacher. I was only 3, when Senna died and a 3-year-old girl doesn't usually even know what F1 is, so I missed all the greats and now I just have to settle with reading about them and watching videos like this. This video is fantastic, thank you!
Make that 5x WDC. Only reliability in the last race of 1962 and 1964 robbed him of 4 straight titles. In 1967 the new Lotus was fast but unreliable. Despite his 4 wins (and 6 poles) against Hulme's and Brabham's 2 each, Hulme was champion and Brabham second.
Needless to say he would have walked the 1968 championship had he lived. His 1963 dominance is still the record in the percentage of laps led all season by a driver (71,5%)
I can't imagine Jim Clark punting people off the track to win like Schumacher or being economical with the truth like Hamilton. In short, a true champion.

agreed, in fact he was very unlucky not to be a 4x WDC and 3x Indy 500 winner
