My Take
What draws me to Boullion is not the eleven Formula One starts but everything that came after them. Plenty of drivers reach F1 and treat anything else as a step down; he reinvented himself in endurance racing and won back-to-back Le Mans Series titles with Pescarolo, plus two podiums at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The 1994 Formula 3000 crown shows the raw speed was always there, yet I admire how he matured it into the patience that long-distance racing demands. He strikes me as a craftsman who earned respect by simply continuing, and I have a real soft spot for that kind of quiet persistence.
