Enzo Ferrari described Wolfgang  Berghe von Trips that he "was a boy of  real nobility and generous demeanor, a real nobleman. As a driver he was  just as accomplished a man as in his daily dealings.“  Ganna Pogrebna and Patrick Henz analyze his life, career, behavior and  legacy. Furthermore, we discuss his myth, and use data to discuss, if we  would have won the 1961 Formula One championship.
