"La sfortuna non esiste. Il destino lo creiamo noi con le nostre mani e con le nostre azioni" (Bad luck does not exist. Destiny is created by us with our own hands and actions). Thus spoke the legendary 'Drake', Enzo Ferrari.
To prepare the best possible car. To assume full responsibility in the face of a potentially hostile fate.
The many mechanical failures that ended up describing Chris Amon's career at the turn of the sixties and seventies outlined in the collective unconscious and in racing circles that very strong portrait which led to the commonplace of an ''unlucky driver''.
This quickly made insiders and non-experts alike forget that widespread sense of a champion and a driver capable of winning a legendary World Championship title in the Sport prototypes championship, giving Ferrari in the beautiful P4 the memorable parade victory in 1967 Daytona 24 Hours, together with his late team-mate: Lorenzo Bandini.
To tell the career of the only New Zealand driver at the wheel of Prancing Horse cars, in the entire history of motorsport, bound only to the yoke of bad luck would be neither fair nor honest.
An extraordinary driver, who should not only be remembered for his inability to win a Formula One Grand Prix. Despite an uncommon talent.
