    An understandingly forgotten F1 driver - Hubert Hahne

    Hubert Hahne (born 28 March 1935) is a former racing driver from Germany.
    He participated in five Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, two
    of those at the wheel of Formula Two cars, and one non-Championship
    Formula One race.

    Hahne purchased a March 701 which he entered in the 1970 German GP.
    After he failed to qualify for the race he took legal action claiming
    March had sold him a sub-standard car. March responded by putting Ronnie Peterson in the car at Silverstone who lapped 2 seconds quicker than he
    had in his own car. Hahne returned home and announced his retirement.

    At least he gave it a try!!!

    I read this a while ago:

    <https://www.oldstox.com/images/Sugar_Ray.pdf>

    I know it sounds like it's off-topic, but it really isn't:

    'The next lap Stirling came by in 1:46. And the lap after
    that, 1:45. Then he came in. In four laps herCOd gone four
    seconds a lap faster than ChuckrCOs best time. And in a car
    that he not only didnrCOt know but one that he'd never even
    sat in before!

    So in a period of just five minutes Chuck Daigh had
    found out that he wasnrCOt as good a driver as there was and
    if he ever did have any visions of being world champion,
    they must have evaporated in the pits at Monaco. Chuck
    didnrCOt bury his helmet that very afternoon; in fact, he got
    tw o m ore seconds off his own time before qualifying was
    over the next day. But I do know that Chuck never won
    another race after that and it wasnrCOt too long before he sort
    of drifted out of sports cars.'
