    'The Dark History of Formula 1'

    'The Dark History of Formula 1'
    Fatalities throughout Formula 1's history.
    Very sobering, pretty graphic.


    As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
    You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

              The Tom Pryce death is just horrible. Tearing that poor kid to shreds and dieing instantly himself.

                    If wasn't for their deaths and the work of guys like Jackie Stewart you would still have guys dying in Formula 1 races every year.

                      Very true. Safety in Formula 1 was a sick joke through a good part of the 1970s. Jackie Stewart has to be credited with a lot of the way F1 has evolved over the years. You look at some of the most recent serious accidents - Heikki in Spain this month or Kubica in Canada last summer - the efforts made to improve the safety of the cars and circuits have made a drivers' survival from serious crash increase many, many times. With exception to a couple of course workers loosing their lives within the past decade, a Formula 1 driver has not been lost since May of 1994 when Senna and Ratzenberger (sp?) were killed at Imola.

                        I don't know what to say after watching that. Wow. I thought that the Krosnoff cart crash in Toronto was bad. And it was. But man.....

                          The part where David Purley attempts to save his Freind was sobering...
                          kind of makes you stop to think a bit.
                          Guy was all around pretty amazing individual though...
                          Died in 85' crashing his stunt-plane into the sea.

                            Wow, it's amazing to see how safety in motorsports (any motorsports) have evolved over the years.

                              i was going to comment to "get over it," thats the way racing has gone early on with safety..... but watching that guy trying to save the other guy is moving... so nevermind.
                              good motion to remember those that lost their lives to racing.
