Karta 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2005 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cavallino 2 Report post Posted September 15, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nojvnof1 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2005 "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!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AutoRacer5 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2005 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*. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lure 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted October 14, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
