Stirling Moss. his grandfather was born Abraham Moses, an Ashkenazi Jew. He married outside his faith and at some point decided to drop the e from his surname. He gave his son a most English name of Alfred and Alfred was Stirling's dad.

Revson's Shadow suffered a suspension breakage in practice for the 1974 South African Grand Prix. Metal fatigue was cited as the reason for the failure.

Finally got you all, Joakim Bonnier. Swedish passport at that, hahaha!

Btw, Peter Revson was no supposed to drive a DN4 in the first place, but was edged out from McLaren for other reasons.

Bonnier was just so much more so. I make he rules anyway.

Matching Yardley and Revlon could have been an issue?

But Revson was not the American driver to make his GP debut at the age of 38, who was he?
