^ I agree Hill and the "old school" were from a different era of gentlemen. But as you say they didn't have the level of exposure that came after them. It's a generational thing, that we see with each generation. More attention, more "me".

All that being said, I could never criticize any driver who strapped himself into such rolling coffins. The drivers in F1 when downforce met shockingly unsafe circuits like in the late 60's and 70's are another category of human competitor. Far above any other sport before or since.
If anything I think he's one of the few in F1 who aren't afraid to get into a row with Bernie Ecclestone over Silverstone or whatever. And I really admired had how Sir Jackie was always near his better half unlike so many professional athletes with Tiger Woods type arrangements.
