When men were men amd safety was low in priority. Notice the tree trunks at the side of the road, never mond crash barriers or run off areas. Still, I well remember the sad day when Clark was killed.
Wouldn't it be great to see F1 return to having a clutch and gears. That would separate the men from the boys.

I had the great good fortune to see Jimmy at the start of his F1 career when he drove a Lotus 21 in the first of the Tasman Cup Series, and the privilege of seeing him win his final Grand Prix in the Lotus 49T.
He was a phenomenal talent, far above the rest of his peers, a man's man and a straight up good bloke.
I remember the day when I was informed we had lost him, almost to the exact time of day, where I was and what I was doing.
To use the old saying, Jimmy was an 'Ornament to the Sport'.
