I have heard more than one 70s/80s GP driver state that Gilles's obsessive pursuit of being fastest everywhere and in every session would be the death of him . Every driver takes risks , but sometimes it looked like Gilles actively hunted them out .


I agree about Graham Hill - As a young man I was distraught he was killed but his carelessness and cavalier approach to flying did him no credit .
