Ex-Ferrari driver Amon of New Zealand dies aged 73
Print Edition
FORMER Ferrari driver Chris Amon, often described as one of the best in Formula One never to have won a race, has died at the age of 73 after a battle with cancer, family of the New Zealand motorsport great said yesterday.
Amon was part of a top trio of New Zealand drivers competing in F1 in the 1960s and early 70s with Bruce McLaren and Denny Hulme, who both enjoyed more successful careers. Bad luck was often cited as the reason for his lack of F1 success, with former world champion Mario Andretti once famously saying: “If he became an undertaker, people would stop dying.” Amon finished on the podium 11 times, also driving for March and Matra among 13 teams in a 14-season career.
