Frankly it can be said that Moss trusted Francis with his life, and willingly. His various books seem to indicate that he felt Alf Francis was on the top rung when it came to dedication to getting the car properly prepared.
Maybe he wouldn't cut it today when seventy six men contribute to the rebuild between practice and race day, but when there was (one and perhaps an apprentice?) he was in big demand.
I would place little credence in the factuality of the car jumping out of gear. It is certainly a possibility, and an interesting one, but then why no attempt to turn the corner?
