Chisel Jersey - a biography (partial)

Having been born in Indianapolis, home of the famous Indy 500, Frederick “Chisel” Jersey was perhaps destined to become an Formula 1 driver. He challenged Juan Manuel Fangio and Alberto Ascari for the title in the early 1950s but died in a tragic accident at the Swiss Grand Prix in Bremgarten in 1954. Nicknamed "Chisel" for his rugged good looks, he was widely considered to be the finest driver of his generation never to win the overall Championship.
