Andrea de Cesaris

It would be easy to reduce de Cesaris to a punchline, the man who held the record for most Formula One starts without a win. I refuse to. Lining up 208 times means showing up again and again despite crashes and unreliable machinery, and that stubborn refusal to quit is, to me, the purest expression of a racer's spirit. He never had the car or the luck of a champion, yet he kept climbing back into the cockpit. His death in a 2014 motorcycle accident was a sad loss. I would rather remember his resilience than his statistics.
