I am lucky to be able to say that I am old enough to have watched Tony Brooks drive. The man was an absolute artist.
I always felt that the reason he never quite made it to that #1 spot was simple - he just didn't need it badly enough.
Then again, had he not been run into leaving the grid at Sebring in 1959 I believe he would have been champion by the end of that afternoon.
A few years ago at the Coy's Festival I was honoured to obtain Tony's autograph; I still remember that it was HE who thanked ME for asking him to sign!!!
Typical of the man.
