Mattijs Diepraam is the motorsport editor to the Dutch edition of Octane magazine and the GP2 and World Series by Renault reporter for Autosport.nl, as well as a leading contributor to that website's Retro section on historic motor racing.
Since day one, Mattijs has been the driving force behind 8W, the motor racing history section of FORIX and autosport.com, and also helped create dB, a site dedicated to the memory of Carel Godin de Beaufort, Holland’s most evocative racing driver ever.
What if Ayrton Senna had survived his Imola 1994 accident? What if Gilles Villeneuve hadn't died at Zolder in 1982? What if Stirling Moss hadn't crashed at Goodwood in 1962? What if Alberto Ascari had survived his 1955 testing-accident at Monza? This book explores those rivalries by assuming that drivers’ injuries from crashes were not fatal, and pits the drivers up against their peers once more.
