cant imagine Schuey being the perfect sportsman which he was not . Must be my age but I thought race drivers and the race far better then than now .
Dont agree about the racing - it can hardly be closer than it now is and at least we dont get regular deaths. But I do agree about the drivers. Maybe the gentlemanly honesty of the Moss / Hawthorn episode seems a bit old fashioned to some but its much nicer than the win at any cost, cheat as much as you can get away with approach of today.
Actually ( and I dont want to sound racist here) I'm not so sure that the cheating came in with the modern driver so much as the foreign one. For example as with the French on the Monte Carlo rally. Not that we have resisted the trend as shown by MacLaren and Hamilton.
Gad but you cant trust Johhny Foreigner can you?
