“I would sacrifice a bit the looks of a Formula 1 car to have Jules here with us today. For me…even if it’s not attractive for everyone that is not going [to drive] a car I don’t mind, I just like to have the maximum safety as possible in the head, always respecting a bit the essentials [of the sport] and the good looking of Formula 1 cars, but without forgetting we are drivers that have lives, and they can be saved by that.”

toasted … all that’s left of Jacky Ickx’ Ferrari 312B after he had collided with Jackie Olivier during the first lap of the 1970 Spanish Grand Prix at Jarama Jacky’s car immediately caught fire & he was very, very lucky to escape with only minor injuries the next year Jacky would come back with a vengeance at Jarama claiming a strong 2nd place finish during the 1971 Spanish Grand Prix, forgetting all about his horrible crash the year before

Jacky Ickx appreciation week …
