Wasn’t there a big stink about him being kicked off the Ford team in ‘65?

He was involved in a very heavy crash during 1965, driving a Lola T70. At the time he was driving for Ferrari in F1, along with driving in their endurance efforts. Due to his injuries from the 1965 crash, Ferrari did not include him in their driver lineup for the ‘66 24 Hours of LeMans, and this upset him the point that he quit driving for Ferrari altogether.

He ended up going to Honda’s F1 team after that, and won at Monza with them in ‘67.
