They
all say that Formula One
is the pinnacle of motorsports. The drivers, the history, the designs, the technology.
None of them can ever be rivaled by other forms of motorsports.
And
then there are the personalities.
Think
about this: In what other sports can you find a major team owner who is wheelchair-bound
(see Williams,
Frank), a three-time champion who has a badly disfigured face due to a
fiery crash (see Lauda, Niki),
and a striking blond female driver wearing an eye patch due to the loss of an
eye in a crash (see de
Villota, Maria)?
Sadly
the striking blond is not with us anymore as de Villota passed away last week
at the age of 33, reportedly a legacy of her terrible crash last year.
