Jim,
You know that there are only two kinds of real racing
drivers. Those who are about to die from their racing
experiences, and those who already have. (Jackie Stewart
just got lucky and lost his hair, so was thrown out of
competition before he killed himself). So ANY racing color
is going to be unlucky for somebody. I can't think of one
country, except maybe Siam, that hasn't lost a driver in
it's colors.
How does the saying go? "There are old racing drivers, and
there are bold racing drivers, but there are no old, bold
racing drivers"
Phil Hill is the only exception I can think of, but then he
was one hell of a driver, and drove under so many colors
that there was no chance that bad luck could catch him (or
anybody else, for that matter).
