Summary: Chris Amon, the New Zealand sheep farmer's son who led the Ferrari team for two seasons in the late 1960s, is remembered in Formula 1 as the best driver never to win a Grand Prix. Yet his contemporary Jackie Stewart rated him as one of the world's foremost drivers and Jochen Rindt considered him a true rival. Eoin Young chronicles the life of this extraordinary racer who was driving at the age of six, had a pilot's licence at 16 and competed a 1954 250F Grand Prix Maserati a year later.
