I second the vote for Mike Hailwood. It's probably an "age appropriate" thing. Mike Hailwood distinguished himself...
" Hailwood was recognized for his bravery when in the 1973 South African Grand Prix he went to pull Clay Regazzoni from his burning car after the two collided on the second lap of the race. Hailwood's driving suit caught fire, but after being extinguished by a fire marshall he returned to help rescue Regazzoni, an act for which he was awarded the George Medal, the 2nd highest gallantry award that a British civilian can be awarded."
Rest in peace Mr. Hailwood.
