Gordon has seen quite a few drivers come and go. I wouldn't put Pace with the truly great drivers, but he was certainly talented enough. He was in an era when there were quite a few top drivers, so although he had the ability to win more, it would have been tough

As you say there were quite a few lost talents from that era. Pryce certainly had the ability to do more, his car control was out of this world, as you say out of the Peterson book rather than Prost. His death showed what lax in safety was in those days. He deserves to be remembered. I have heard good things about the Lost Generation

And Nilsson too could have achieved more.
