Jacky ickx

What fascinated me, it was not the glory, but the contact with the public.

In the end I didn't get a top car any more. I had no toughness left. That was the reality.

Nevertheless during these two seasons, Chapman impressed me a lot because he had the faculty to pull himself out of the most critical situations.

In the past, two colleagues died each season. It was generally accepted this could happen.

Everything was magnificent so far, even if I knew my part of dramas.

My father was a motorsports journalist and a motorbike fan. He gave me my motocross bike.

In this sport luck and tragedy are only a few hundredths of seconds apart from each other.
