That's a bit of a leap, isn't it?

Maybe I read the tweet incorrectly, but I took his comment about VP as suggesting the Russian wouldn't have the nerve to race in Clark's era. I felt using Clark to prove his point was odd, since Jim was likely killed by shunting into the woods.

Perhaps Mark doesn't remember just how lucky he was to escape death after a horrific design / set-up issue sent his Group C (IIRC) Mercedes leaving the track whilst doing 2-3 gainers into the trees at LeMans.
