@masterhalco What are you talking about? Paletti never raced with Senna. Murray Walker, as a commentator also had nothing to do with the death of Senna. Pironi being on Villeneuve's mind when he crashed fatally at Zolder is what I suppose you mean but Pironi doesn't die in this video so I don't know what you mean.
@masterhalco Neither driver involved ever raced with Senna, and both were dead before Senna was even a champion in F1, let alone before the crash at Imola. I know you're trolling and trying to get a reaction from people, but try and make it less obvious, idiot.
Whatever you might have thought of Pironi in light of the Villeneuve controversy at San Marino - let it be said that Pironi did everything he could to do to try to save Paletti.
@Lucignolone90 Actually, the chest injuries werent fatal in of itself. The autopsy concluded that the fire retardant foam used to put out the flames combined with the chest injuries caused him to suffocate because he couldnt breathe properly.
it's never easy watching these things, I was in the grandstands at Las Vegas to watch Dan Wheldon's fatal crash yesterday. RIP to Paletti, Wheldon, and all of the other heroes who gave their lives going for that extra tenth of a second.
pelo menos ele não sofreu pois ja estava inconciente dentro do carro antes mesmo de ter pego fogo.Cenas bizarras de uma formula 1 q em termos de segurança era precária.Cena inadimissivel nos dias de hoje.
Finalmente fue trasladado a un hospital donde falleció poco después. Esa misma temporada falleció Gilles Villeneuve, tan solo un mes antes de su muerte. Riccardo Paletti no murió por las quemaduras, sino que murió a causa del choque, porque al chocar a 200 km/h, con el coche de Pironi, la parte delantera del frágil Osella se rompió, y se clavó la barra de dirección en el pecho, motivo que explica porqué Riccardo Paletti no salía de su coche cuando los médicos le atendían.
Pese a la ayuda y las asistencias médicas, el tanque de gasolina del Osella se terminó de abrir, comenzado un fuego que haría imposible su rescate durante unos largos y enternos minutos. Paletti en el momento del choque perdió el conocimiento, ya que tenía el tórax destrozado. A la dantesca situación en la que se encontraba el piloto, había que sumarle el estar inmerso en una bola de fuego, sin poder escapar.
En el GP de Canadá de 1982 salía desde la pole position el piloto francés Didier Pironi, quien no consiguió arrancar su Ferrari por problemas técnicos, quedándose totalmente clavado. La mayoría de pilotos consiguieron esquivarlo, desafortunadamente el italiano Ricardo Paletti, de 23 años, no pudo esquivarlo y se estrelló contra la parte trasera de su coche
@geraDce You have to understand, todays cars are alot safer because of these sort of accidents. Dale Earndharts accident at daytona looks pretty normal today, but the cars weren't so safe even 10 years ago!
@KennPFC Right point, wrong example perhaps. Dale Sr's accident brought about mandatory use of the HANS device along with SAFER walls. The cars themselves didn't change that much in a way that would've prevented this tragedy.
Open wheel racing can never be safe. You know a car design is messed up when a drivers legs are considered "crumple zones". It's a miracle more have not died.
@Zoomer30 The drivers legs are by no means a crumple zone. Back in the days the cars were just too weak, but today the cars have a crumble zone in the nose of the car where there is nothing but suspension and wires. The drivers legs are in a contained box behind that. It is not the open wheel design that is the problem it was just the safety regulations that were not strict enough back then.
@dude2106 In a way people have to die before you get safety regulations, you wouldn't just put them there automatically, I mean builders on site only wear hard hats these days because people have died from having bricks dropped on their heads before. They say prevention is better than cure but safety regs are 100% cure, you learn from your mistakes and all that. RIP to all the greats who helped forge this sport into what it is today
@dude2106 The cars were NOT too weak. The problem was that the drivers were seated too far forward. A driver could reach outward with his arms and touch the wheels. Incredibly, FISA did absolutely nothing after this accident...they waited until Pironi's Germany accident to change the regs.
How ironic that Pironi dedicated his pole for Gilles who died a Zolder earlier in the season. Yet it was his very own stalled car that acted like a brick wall when the novice yet undiscovered Paletti slammned into him at just over 100mph. Very sad year in F1. RIP all those legends who loved what they were doing and would die trying to be the very best. Man those cars were all so beautil. Murray Walker is a legend of motor sport. The grandfather of TV commentry and such a gentleman.
@thegreatbasher Even more than that, the monaco GP of 1982 something like 5 drivers lead and went out on the final lap. Gilles had won his last GP at that track the previous year
What touches me about these older racing videos is how the drivers were always concerned foremost about the well-being of their fellow racers after an accident. You wouldn't see many of the spoiled brats in top-tier racing these days risking their own necks to try to save someone else.
Qué lástima. Este piloto cumplía 24 años justo dos días después. Por eso, entre otras cosas, su madre estaba ese día en el circuito mirando la carrera.

drivers safety has come into the equation... and f1 nowadays is not as exciting (lovable) as it was until the 80s. let's face it: it had to happen, but still there's a certain charm and as for me total admiration for those pioneers of the 50s 60s 70s up until the 80s when a team was a brave committed racing driver and a team of mechanics.
@jacobyne I could be wrong, but I think you are thinking of Ronnie Peterson who died of an embolisim some days after his startline accident. Paletti I think died of his injuries
He would have been unconscious as the car set alight probably dead, he won't have felt the flames. Shocking how a car could come to pieces in those days.
@araregoodguy he was alive when he was airlifted to hospital. the surgeons tried to save him, but ultimately, he succumbed to his severe injuries in hospital. R.I.P
@MrAmore94 I would too, I and I'd put my money on an F1 for many reasons, but others I would leave it to Nascar. I like Nascar because of muscle and the excitement, F1 is so predictable if you start 1st most likely you end 1st.
you can't even spell you're and according to the Nascar teams themselves on their websites they claim around 760-790hp, above 800hp in ideal configuartions without restrictors.
Nonetheless 760hp/0,6tons=1267hp/ton in power to weight ratio
and 800hp/1,6556tons=483hp/ton in power to weight ratio
1655,6 kilos as a minumum weight for a a car, with fuel and driver is incredibly heavy for racing. Next up is FIA truck racing.
It's a heck of a lot more physically demanding driving F1
@AlexDeLarge90 Nascar has a lot more power than an F1, Nascar: 855BHP 5.86L V8, F1: 725BHP 2.4L V8. Nascar bodies and cages are much stronger, the rate of death in a crash of Nascar is nothing compared to F1. Get your facts straight, I'm not saying Nascar is better by any means I personally like Nascar and F1.
@dreampilot2 Bullshit, more power doesn't mean faster machines. Nascar is a LOT heavier than your typical F1 vehicle. Also, those cages are fucking useless, only rolling you on and on but because of the amount of racers, fatalities are more common. In the same period since Senna's death in 1994, there has been 0 F1 fatalities whereas Nascar has seen 10!!!
@ElayneTrakand Do you know why there has been 10 fatalities it's because in NASCAR each car is at a constant 200 mph where as F1 reaches 200 mph very rarely also each car in NASCAR is much more safer than any F1.
bull. if you take weight and size into account F1 is way safer considering there's no crumble zones, no monster roll cage and the head is totally open and vulnerable, witness Massa's accident last year
Since 1994 there has been zero deaths in F1, that is 16 years without a single death. Before that you had to go back all the way to 1982 to a death in a race, which was Gilles Villeneuve. Elio De Angelis died in a test in 1986.
@McLarenMercedes Use your brain there hasn't been a death in F1 for that long because the cars never reach 200mph in a race where as NASCAR is at a constant 200mph so if you take everything into consideration each NASCAR car is safer than any F1 car. Crash a NASCAR into an F1 head on see which one crumbles.
Most crashes don't occur at 200mph either. Robert Kubica's crash in Canada in 2007 was doing 180mph at least, and he was fine. Just missed a race because his doctors wanted to check him out.
"the heavier the safer". Unbelievable. Mercedes proved that idea wrong in the 1950's while testing the safest configuration for future road cars.
You're forgetting something very important. A F1 car is 600kilos heavy with a driver. Whereas a NASCAR is almost THREE TIMES as heavy. Ever taken power to weight ratio into account?
Uh, Mercedes claim their 2007 engine had 810hp and BMW had even more than that.
And let's assume a conservative 750hp, how is 100hp more from more than twice the displacement "a lot more power"?
Last time I checked Nascar's don't pull 5 G's in the corners, or brake nearly as well. Fitness??
@McLarenMercedes Thats the whole point, the heavier the safer. An Aero TT (American) has a V8 engine which is faster than the Bugatti Veyron's V16. America is far ahead of Europe.
No, the heavier the harder it is for it to stop. Basic physics. In racing heavy weight usually means hopeless handling and the heavier an oject is the more kinetic energy it has, which makes it harder to stop. For this reason they forced the racing trucks to have speed limiters at 100mph, otherwise they'd be impossible to stop. Imagine a 8 ton truck having brake failure doing 150mph??
The Veyron is electronically limited to 253mph because that is what the tires can safely take.
Power doesn't come from the numbers of cylinders, rather displacement. BMW made a 1,5litre straight 4 cylinder which had 1400hp and they raced that in Formula 1 in 1983. That's almost 1000hp/litre. That one was based on their 1961 designed M10 engine which was a roadcar engine, not designed for F1 at all.
Veyron could easily take the record back by de-restricting the Veyron and charge the same amount of enginebraking boost Aero TT uses. How many of those SSC's have been tested??
They have already sold over 200 Veyron's. How many SSC's have been sold anyway? How come the rich and famous don't go out and buy it so they can have "the fastest car in the world"? I'll tell you why, because it's a souped up kitcar from a micro company that used to sell Lamborghini replicas.
Sorry, but Nazi Germany had Mercedes and Auto Union cars reach 270mph on Autobahn in 1938 so to make a car go fast is nothing new, to make it go fast safely for non-pro drivers another.
You're either a troll or the real deal. I am having a hard time taking you for real because it seems you're intentionally being stupid.
"the heavier the safer". Haha. You can make a lightweight carbonfibre monocoque and make it both leight, strong and incredibly safe, McLaren proved this in 1981 already when DeCesaris crashed in every race but wasn't hurt in any of them.
There are no American teams in F1. Lotus revolutionized IndyCar with the rearengined car. Nascar is lowtech
@Piasintei71 I agree you can have a bad race in f1 but when you get a good one it is much better than any football. Plus all football thesedays is decided on some Ronaldo like player diving and winning a penalty.
@Piasintei71 Formula 1 was magic, football is a good second ever.. However not even close to the old days of Formula 1. I love to see the top gear episode where Hamilton can drives a real Mclaren race monster.
I remember watching this live on CBC...about a month after Gilles Villeneuve died, the track was named in his honour and then somebody crashes into a Ferrari and dies, it was like a curse or something.
the chassis was made of alluminium back then so any head on crash could be disasterous and also the fact the drivers sat so far forward then with their feet well past the centre axle line
unfortunately the aluminium chassis had nothing to do with his death. Paletti died of a ruptured aorta, meaning he simply died of the deceleration caused by the impact. This won't get better by the use of a more rigid carbon chassis. I say 'unfortunately' since this means that this type of accident can reoccur anytime.
Murray Walker really was a terrible commentator sometimes. If you didn't know Paletti's fate before seeing this, you'd never have guessed he died. MW makes it sound like he was rescued, with words like "he was in shock", "was not affected by the flames", "his internal injuries and broken legs were the problem".
Btw, this is NOT the most terrible F1 crash to watch. Sadly, Roger Williamson has that dubious honour. His death was the worst ever and is unbearable.
@charliechutney I suspect these are highlights upon which Murray is commentating on afterwards.Overseas races in the early 80s rarely received live coverage on the BBC.Had this been live then I'm sure his tone of voice would have been quite different.
Bam....The so called prick you claim is a on track camera man. What makes him a prick?????? WTF is he going to do? Its his job to film, he cant help any its not like he can get anywhere near the flames.
You stand alone on this toss boy. those around the car also expressed extreme anger at the 'man' with the video camera who had nothing to do with the official TV broadcast.
this is possibly the most harrowing thing ive ever witnessed in f1. made even worse by the sight of riccardos mother rushing onto the track in hysterics trying to help..... awful tragedy.
So sad..I love F1 from the bottom of my heart but I hate the cold fact that it has taken so many lives..It makes me sick to the pit of my stomach when I think of all those who've died..Paletti was only 23!! Had his whole career ahead of him..a tragedy beyond measure..rest in peace guys..you did good..
I'd like to get my hands on the camera man in the yellow top who continued to film when the car went up in flames. And beat 10 shades of shit out of him.
13th july 1982. Strange day for sport. World cup started in Spain, with 140 countries and 1 billion people watching. It was also the first international ladies rugby match, Holand - France. And this race, pretty sad.
Being 17 i haven't witnessed a fatality in formula 1 luckily. Hope that these days are gone :\

If im thinking right, this incident alone made head-on impact crash tests mandatory.
And a good thing too as thAt was a horrible impact

@MrAmore94 I would too, I and I'd put my money on an F1 for many reasons, but others I would leave it to Nascar. I like Nascar because of muscle and the excitement, F1 is so predictable if you start 1st most likely you end 1st.

F1 Cars are weak compared to Nascar.
dreampilot2 1 year ago
wrong and wrong
the crashtest F1 cars need to pass are far more tough to design a car to withstand than those basic rollcage Nascars
also a F1 car has more power too, in the Turbo era of the 80's this was particularly true

@AlexDeLarge90 No your totally wrong, get your facts right mate.
dreampilot2 1 year ago
@dreampilot2
you can't even spell you're and according to the Nascar teams themselves on their websites they claim around 760-790hp, above 800hp in ideal configuartions without restrictors.
Nonetheless 760hp/0,6tons=1267hp/ton in power to weight ratio
and 800hp/1,6556tons=483hp/ton in power to weight ratio
1655,6 kilos as a minumum weight for a a car, with fuel and driver is incredibly heavy for racing. Next up is FIA truck racing.
It's a heck of a lot more physically demanding driving F1
McLarenMercedes 1 year ago
@AlexDeLarge90 Nascar has a lot more power than an F1, Nascar: 855BHP 5.86L V8, F1: 725BHP 2.4L V8. Nascar bodies and cages are much stronger, the rate of death in a crash of Nascar is nothing compared to F1. Get your facts straight, I'm not saying Nascar is better by any means I personally like Nascar and F1.
dreampilot2 1 year ago
@dreampilot2 Bullshit, more power doesn't mean faster machines. Nascar is a LOT heavier than your typical F1 vehicle. Also, those cages are fucking useless, only rolling you on and on but because of the amount of racers, fatalities are more common. In the same period since Senna's death in 1994, there has been 0 F1 fatalities whereas Nascar has seen 10!!!
ElayneTrakand 1 year ago
@ElayneTrakand Do you know why there has been 10 fatalities it's because in NASCAR each car is at a constant 200 mph where as F1 reaches 200 mph very rarely also each car in NASCAR is much more safer than any F1.
dreampilot2 1 year ago
@dreampilot2
bull. if you take weight and size into account F1 is way safer considering there's no crumble zones, no monster roll cage and the head is totally open and vulnerable, witness Massa's accident last year
Since 1994 there has been zero deaths in F1, that is 16 years without a single death. Before that you had to go back all the way to 1982 to a death in a race, which was Gilles Villeneuve. Elio De Angelis died in a test in 1986.
McLarenMercedes 1 year ago
@McLarenMercedes Use your brain there hasn't been a death in F1 for that long because the cars never reach 200mph in a race where as NASCAR is at a constant 200mph so if you take everything into consideration each NASCAR car is safer than any F1 car. Crash a NASCAR into an F1 head on see which one crumbles.
dreampilot2 1 year ago
@dreampilot2
Most crashes don't occur at 200mph either. Robert Kubica's crash in Canada in 2007 was doing 180mph at least, and he was fine. Just missed a race because his doctors wanted to check him out.
"the heavier the safer". Unbelievable. Mercedes proved that idea wrong in the 1950's while testing the safest configuration for future road cars.
You're either insane or think you're funny.

@McLarenMercedes Heavier is safer when head on with two cars dimwit.
dreampilot2 1 year ago
@dreampilot2
oval racing with concrete walls is hardly what I call safe. Also they do race in RAIN in F1, which they don't in Nascar as soon as the rain falls.
McLarenMercedes 1 year ago
@dreampilot2 Hmm, F1 circuits have upwards of 25 corners true, but all F1 accidents occur at 150mph+ speeds. Way enough to kill.
ElayneTrakand 1 year ago
@dreampilot2
You're forgetting something very important. A F1 car is 600kilos heavy with a driver. Whereas a NASCAR is almost THREE TIMES as heavy. Ever taken power to weight ratio into account?
Uh, Mercedes claim their 2007 engine had 810hp and BMW had even more than that.
And let's assume a conservative 750hp, how is 100hp more from more than twice the displacement "a lot more power"?
Last time I checked Nascar's don't pull 5 G's in the corners, or brake nearly as well. Fitness??
McLarenMercedes 1 year ago
@McLarenMercedes Thats the whole point, the heavier the safer. An Aero TT (American) has a V8 engine which is faster than the Bugatti Veyron's V16. America is far ahead of Europe.
dreampilot2 1 year ago
@dreampilot2
No, the heavier the harder it is for it to stop. Basic physics. In racing heavy weight usually means hopeless handling and the heavier an oject is the more kinetic energy it has, which makes it harder to stop. For this reason they forced the racing trucks to have speed limiters at 100mph, otherwise they'd be impossible to stop. Imagine a 8 ton truck having brake failure doing 150mph??
The Veyron is electronically limited to 253mph because that is what the tires can safely take.
McLarenMercedes 1 year ago
@dreampilot2
Power doesn't come from the numbers of cylinders, rather displacement. BMW made a 1,5litre straight 4 cylinder which had 1400hp and they raced that in Formula 1 in 1983. That's almost 1000hp/litre. That one was based on their 1961 designed M10 engine which was a roadcar engine, not designed for F1 at all.
Veyron could easily take the record back by de-restricting the Veyron and charge the same amount of enginebraking boost Aero TT uses. How many of those SSC's have been tested??
McLarenMercedes 1 year ago
@dreampilot2
They have already sold over 200 Veyron's. How many SSC's have been sold anyway? How come the rich and famous don't go out and buy it so they can have "the fastest car in the world"? I'll tell you why, because it's a souped up kitcar from a micro company that used to sell Lamborghini replicas.
Sorry, but Nazi Germany had Mercedes and Auto Union cars reach 270mph on Autobahn in 1938 so to make a car go fast is nothing new, to make it go fast safely for non-pro drivers another.
McLarenMercedes 1 year ago
@dreampilot2
You're either a troll or the real deal. I am having a hard time taking you for real because it seems you're intentionally being stupid.
"the heavier the safer". Haha. You can make a lightweight carbonfibre monocoque and make it both leight, strong and incredibly safe, McLaren proved this in 1981 already when DeCesaris crashed in every race but wasn't hurt in any of them.
There are no American teams in F1. Lotus revolutionized IndyCar with the rearengined car. Nascar is lowtech

the chassis was made of alluminium back then so any head on crash could be disasterous and also the fact the drivers sat so far forward then with their feet well past the centre axle line
schuey7wc 2 years ago
unfortunately the aluminium chassis had nothing to do with his death. Paletti died of a ruptured aorta, meaning he simply died of the deceleration caused by the impact. This won't get better by the use of a more rigid carbon chassis. I say 'unfortunately' since this means that this type of accident can reoccur anytime.
TheColinChapman 2 years ago
Murray Walker really was a terrible commentator sometimes. If you didn't know Paletti's fate before seeing this, you'd never have guessed he died. MW makes it sound like he was rescued, with words like "he was in shock", "was not affected by the flames", "his internal injuries and broken legs were the problem".
Btw, this is NOT the most terrible F1 crash to watch. Sadly, Roger Williamson has that dubious honour. His death was the worst ever and is unbearable.
charliechutney 2 years ago
@charliechutney I suspect these are highlights upon which Murray is commentating on afterwards.Overseas races in the early 80s rarely received live coverage on the BBC.Had this been live then I'm sure his tone of voice would have been quite different.
