The fact that, for all this,
he was a sensitive and lovable
character rather than an out-and-out hell-raiser made him
such a unique human being.No wonder Enzo Ferrari welcomed him with open arms, he
must have seemed the perfect modern day Nuvolari the old man craved. Like many
others I will never forget the incredible wheel-banging battle with Arnoux at
Dijon in 1979. It was one of the most exciting duels of all time albeit for
second place and a testimony to his almost insane determination that he finished
ahead of the Frenchman despite his Ferrari having less power than his rivals
Renault. A complex character and a spectacular talent sorely missed.
