To apply your skill, totally exposed to death, with casualties all around you, is something unknown to drivers today. Tragedies, happen today of course but they are rare, thankfully. It was almost like war back in the 'golden era'.

It puts accomplishments of Clark, Fangio and Nuvolari into another cosmos, IMO. We'll never know if Alonso could compete/surpass that because society simply doesn't tolerate that sheer degree of reckless danger.
