That's certainly a popular one, chunder, hence its 2nd place in the
MotorSport list. I'm pretty sure most of the race was pretty ordinary, but those last three laps or so stick in people's minds as one of the iconic GP battles.

D-Type, you must be psychic! I emailed three GPs to
MotorSport for the list, and that was my number two. It was one of the first great duels and it lasted the entire race. The fact that they were each driving the defining GP cars of the pre-Silver Arrows period (Alfa and Bugatti) should only add to its reputation.

Good call. I suspect that it might have made the list had the fight lasted to the very end. If it had, my money would have been on Stewart due to his racecraft and ability to plan (winning the '69 Italian GP was a good example), but of course we'll never know.
