Ronnie Peterson

[UKMike2009]

I idolised Ronnie Peterson - appearing so calm and collected out of the car and a demon on track. I remember watching him in the Lotus 72 from the roof of the pits at Silverstone as he drifted the car round Woodcote. Pure Magic. Sadly missed and this video is a fitting tribute - thank you

[visionmaster450]

I just wanted to add my appreciation for this lovely tribute. I was 11 when he passed away so tragically. He was, still is and will always be my all time sporting hero. Other drivers have held my affection but there was only one Ronnie Peterson. It's a shame F1 has transformed itself in such a way that young robots are what is required now. I miss the old days. ( I must be getting old!)

Such a brilliant video & such lovely comments about Ronnie..who was my all time F1 hero!! I was 15 when he was killed & he's as much a legend today as he was then in my mind & yours too! Rest in peace RP RX

I just want to say thank you, to all who have

commented and watched my "little" tribute to Ronnie.

It seems like he is still today very mutch remembered and not forgotten.

Respect to you all fellow Formula1 fans.

Lovely tribute to Ronnie. Thanks!

Sann hjälte - True hero!

Undrar vad han menade med - "Men kunde de fixa Graham Hill, så borde de kunna fixa mig." ? Graham Hill hade ju omkommit redan 1975 i en flygolycka!?

[macket]

Graham Hill var med om en svår crash i ett F1 lopp några år innan flygolyckan, och bröt båda benen har jag för mig.

Men han lyckades ta sig till baks och köra igen.

[Nereofrariz21]

I was born 5 years after the crash in Monza and, to me, Ronnie was 1 of the greatest drivers ever.

In 1976 Ferrari wanted Ronnie to substitute Lauda after the crash in Germany, but Niki said no. Ferrari got Reutemann and in Monza there were 3 Ferrari. And who won the race? Ronnie and his mickey mouse March Ford. Ronnie showed Lauda who he was, unfortunately Ronnie didn't get what deserved the most, the F1 championship!

Ronnie forever

[Metalmiltia]

Ronnie was a great driver. He should have won the title in 1978. He just stuck to his contract and let Andretti take the wins. Not that I mean anything bad to Andretti, he was and is a good guy..

[ChraftShaft]

True!!! Lotus gave Ronnie a promise that he was to be champion the following year 1979. It is so sad! But we know that he was the greatest ever anyway.

RIP Ronnie You WAS The Best SWedish F1 Driver

[DinglieDonglie]

An excellent tribute. Thank you.

[SidSlayer]

Chapman's favourite was Andretti, and Andretti must be.

So I had so many more respect for this incredible driver, r.i.p superswede

[ChraftShaft]

Team orders have always been so wrong!

[Friddely]

Thanks for the great clip.. Ronnie will always be the best driver Sweden ever had

[McLarenMercedes]

Apparently he signed for McLaren in 1979. Had he not won the title in 1978,he would have trouble winning races with the McLarenM28,which according to John Watson was one of the worst McLaren cars ever.Had he raced with McLaren until 1982,he might have been champion since Watson only lost by 5 points.

[skumberg666]

[boelin]

Very nice tribute. Snyggt gjort.

[hispania54]

pure genius, greatest f1 driver never to win the championship.

[lotuscars]

Agreed!

[rubysslave]

Ronnie was one of my all time favorites, but the greatest F1 driver to never win the title was probably Gilles
