So that's what I think makes them all so very human, doesn't it? voice-verified

And probably if that – well – voice-verified

I think you can say with a high level of confidence, if they hadn't separated when they did in 66, Surtees very likely would have won that championship. voice-verified

So two-time world champion at that point. voice-verified

And who knows what follows after that. voice-verified

But it's just a really important lesson. voice-verified

I like statistics, but... voice-verified

they are not meaningful without context. voice-verified

If you look at anyone who wins, certainly anyone who wins multiple world championships is a very successful driver. voice-verified

But I think there's a great counterpoint in Jack Brabham, who I think is a fascinating character. voice-verified

But Surtees is basically a slightly better version of Jack Brabham. voice-verified

But Brabham's the one who's got the team that won world championships. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

the one who's got the three world championships and the more wins so there were other factors that played a part there and actually they're sort of similar similar sort of backgrounds in many ways in terms of similar yeah it's just the same but yeah it's just funny i don't want to create a whole load of other parallels but it it just shows really tiny quirks can often make the difference can be amplified massively yeah absolutely yeah voice-verified

So look at the statistics, but don't always trust them, I guess would be the lesson there. voice-verified

So we hope you've enjoyed us taking a look through the career of John Surtees, absolutely incredible driver, so much more than just a world champion on two and four wheels, although that in itself is an astonishing record that I don't think will ever be matched. voice-verified

I don't think that's a particularly bold statement. voice-verified

prediction to make so yeah let us know when you listen to this or watch this what you think about about fernando alonso and john certes and the comparisons perhaps some comparisons we've missed because one of the really important things on f1 rewind is to try and keep these stories alive it's not just history but it's trying to put a contemporary spin in a contemporary perspective on them and we want you to be part of that as well voice-verified
