Jochen Mass’ F1 career began with a bang and ended more than a
decade later in a fiery crash. In the 1970s he shared podiums
with the likes of Lauda, Hunt, Fittipaldi and Scheckter. His
talent deserved more than a single victory, which came on a dark
day in Spain in 1975. Tragedy struck again in 1982, when Jochen
played a blameless part in the crash which killed the legendary
Gilles Villeneuve. Tom Clarkson uncovers the twists and turns of
Jochen’s time in F1: the near-victories, cars, bosses and
teammates which shaped his character. Jochen is certainly not
afraid to speak his mind – a quality he put to very good use in
later years when advising his Mercedes sportscar team mate, a
young Michael Schumacher.
