My saddest moment i guess would be what F1 has come or is becoming. And by that i dont mean Max, oh no i mean all parties evolved (all teams, manufacturers).

P.S. Maybe do a new topic excluding the deaths and political play...i.e. track event that did not have fatal results?

I have been fortunate in my short time of watching F1 to not see anything tragic. silverstone 2000 was sad, but I guess the worst was seeing Zanardi's crash (not in F1 obviously) on TV.

"F. Cevert a bright light snuffed out"

from what I have read, his crash was a very grisly site.

As for me personally, any day an F1 driver is killed or seriously injured is sad, but I have only seen two die , being Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna, so that would be my saddest moment, and I hope I never have to see anything like that again.

After that follows seeing JV waste his career away at BAR, followed by the day Jacques was dropped from BAR and forced into a sabbatical, followed by a day in August last year when Williams confirmed Jenson Button to drive for them in 2005. That was the time when I honestly felt as though Jacques was gone from F1 and I remember I wasn't a pleasant guy to be around for a day or two, as I had really thought it was the end of Jacques in F1. Glad I was wrong!!!

look for a video of Adelaide 1994 on the internet, like a clip, they are easy to find. MS was simply defending the corner, the corner goes to the person in front *retreats to bunker*.

I remember Higel Mansell Blowing a tyre when he was leading the race at Adelaide years ago. I think that cost him the WDC. This obviously pales in comparison to any injuries or deaths.

I remember being completely stunned when Ronnie Peterson died. We just couldn't believe it.

Unfortunately nearly all of my saddest moments involve death: Jimmy Clark, Francois Cevert, Jochen Rindt et al.

Oh, and James Allen being given the job of commentator.....

It was sad, but somehow inevitable that teams like Lotus and Brabham would wither and die without the people who made them what they were: Chapman, Murray and the rest.

Let's do a thread on our happiest memories, instead. This is depressing.
