i dont understand this crash ? many time i watch it from that time tel now,he can see the car in front of him threw the corner and it is apractis!!!this crash teach me that some drivers drive whith the foot they are very brave others drive with there head they are very sucsesful.
@shaikhdishgan1 Simple, the crash occured due to two drivers trying to do the right thing and avoid each other. Jochen Mass the driver of the car Villeneuve hit moved to the right because he saw that he was slower than the quick moving Villeneuve. However, Villeneuve saw that Mass was slower and also moved to the right so he didn't run over him and they both did it in that same instant which caused the wreck. It had nothing to do with being brave, just two people trying to make the right move.
Yesterday I watched a TV report about Jochen Rindt who died on Sept. 5th 1970 at Monza.
At the time he died Rindt had won five of that year's ten Grands Prix, which meant that he had a strong lead in the World Championship. Others won some races but couldn´t make it, and so Rindt became motor racing's first posthumous World Champion.
Then I checked other F1-drivers who died in racing crashes.
With eight minutes of the session left, Villeneuve came over the rise after the first chicane and caught Jochen Mass travelling much more slowly through the left-handed bend before the Terlamenbocht corner. Mass saw Villeneuve approaching at high speed and moved to the right to let him through on the racing line. At the same instant Villeneuve also moved right to pass the slower car. The Ferrari hit the back of Mass' car and was launched into the air at a speed at 200–225 km/h.
omg, his body is still strapped to the seat as he tumbles into the catch fence. when they are performing CPR you can see how blue in the face he is. terrible.
omg! that is insane! he actually came out the car! (N) how awful, it brilliant how much safer they r nowadays, not safe still but this wouldnt happen in a car today
Lucky for webber there is seat belts today and that could of saved giles life here feel tad sorry for jaques 2 as he lost a dad in all this and think a few people have forgotten that over the years
@aloimanmrcricket, seat belts were in F1 since late 60s. If you watch closely (or find a higher quality video), you can see that he's still strapped to his seat while flying across the track... so, the seat got torn off the car due to the extreme forces of the accident and lower safety standards of the early 80s.
@Hunorrrr Yes It was, I'm sure I was 12 at that time and I clearly remember an opposite angle of the accident. Even you could see how the accident was, Gilles was trying to get a better qualification, and he was very fast when he barely crashed a slow car (Johan Mass?) and the car was out of control, and you could see Gilles flying away the car bouncing in the pavement until he finished trapped in the fence. RIP Gilles. You are still one of the bigger F1 pilots.
@Lennon4life1968 absolutely, what a horrible display of camera work, Gilles runs over his back tire, starts flipping and breaking all hell lose , and he follows the one that isn't flipping, flying, and breaking apart.
A few times a week, I ride my bicycle on the circuit bearing his name in Montreal... Everytime it's the same amazement to ride on the same road then all those racing legends
@Paulic4 Sorry checked profile, you're 17 so it's understandable....unfortunately he died later of his injuries...he was one of the best F1 drivers ever to exist..look him up on Wikipedia!
This is the first time I've ever seen the crash. Here I am wondering what part of the car goes flying past the screen at the end of the crash. I go to look it up. Oh, it's the driver part. :(
This Ferrari model (162C, I think) was a very dangerous car. Pironi was crippled just a few months after Gilles was killed. It was the only year when both pilots of a top team didn't complete the season (Simtek had alike problems in 1994 but was far from a top team). This championship was won by Keke Rosberg, who won only ONE race...
@BonjourImNotFrench shut up you little fanny. im sposed to feel bad for billionaire toffs getting themselves killed? theres plenty of suffering in the world. enough not to feel sympathetic to rich people who have the option to drive and take the risks or not
@hordichuck your an absolute spastic kid... read what you just wrote.
I'm a little "fanny"? How is this possible at all? Billionaire toffs? They aren't billionaires.There's plenty of suffering in the world, enough not to feel sympathetic to rich people? You are considered a rich person you retard...Option to drive and take the risks? Yes they are doing a sport they love to make money because they are good enough they know the risks but that does not mean you go mocking them if they die.
@BonjourImNotFrench come back to me when youve done something with your life you soft cock. i wasnt mocking it was more gallows humour. i dont expect you with your level of intelligence or wit or your pampered lifestyle to understand.
"Uuuuh, there is one! No two! Meh forget that loser behind him, taking off, careering off like a plane, probably destroying his car and thus leaving the race to the champion I'm focusing on right now, it's F1. Only winners count!
What's that stuff flying through my perfect picture? Is that... A car? Interesting. Let's zoom in and find out.
Strange. Isn't there supposed to be a guy steering these things?
the cars back then generated roughly 1200 horse power 400 more than cars of today u an see those cars on the straights wiggling about truly the golden age of F1
come on there has to be some kind of danger otherwise you get Kamikaze action all the way without any danger. Yes the safety has to be perfect but do not put the magic away of openwheel.
@vergintat what a comment just let him in peace too long ago to calll somone u dont even personal know and u dont even see a good camera angle go burn in hell with comments like that also in ca
And to everyone saying 'WTF? Cameraman sucks!"... remember this is 1982, we didnt have cameras everywhere, and i doubt the cameraman expected the crash to happen!
interesting how much the BBC showed - the body flying throguh the air, then lying on theground with medical attention. Nowadays, if any of that was shown, we would have a 'viewers may find the following disturbing' warning. Not that it isn't terrible & disturbing, but ironic how there's more sex & violence on primetime TV now...
Almost exactly the same kind of crash that Webber luckily walked away from today. Just goes to show how far F1 safety has come but hopefully it'll continue to improve as there's still more work to be done!
@gazboselectamo nothing like webbers crash at all gilles crash was brutal, flipping and rolling many times before he's thrown from the car , webber just fliped and hit a tyre wall nothing even remotly similar. although i do agree that safety has come a long way and will continue too.
@FFFSilencer not to start an argument but I think that's more than partially due to modern car design. The old car flipped so violently because there were no real energy absorbing structures to deform so when it hits the ground it digs in and the whole thing bends and rips apart. Plus the fact the seat is thrown from the car, would never happen in modern F1. If Webbers car had been from the 80's he would most likely be dead!
@gazboselectamo energy absorbing structures mean nothing if you cant stay secured in the cockpit. villeneuve died because he was thrown out of the car. if mark webber was thrown from his modern car then he wouldve died too.
@didickcheeseburger you're probably right dickcheese but i don't think a modern car would have come apart like that in the first place. The driver's seat is part of the monocoque itself now I think so the whole car would have to come apart for that to happen. Point is modern F1 safety is already leaps ahead of this, but there's always still more to do!
@theidentman Yeah I think Webber was very lucky in two ways, that the car was basically upside down when it hit the overhead object as it flew down the track and that despite still being properly tethered a wheel didn't enter the cockpit as he hit the tire wall so fast. I think maybe closed cockpits might have to be a reality in F1 to provide the next level of safety over the current cars.
@gazboselectamo but if it's a closed cockpit, its not open wheel racing. Motor sport will always be dangerous, and the technology has come so far since these horrific accidents. Sure, there will be more upgrades in safety...but I don't think enclosing the cockpit should be done....What happens if the driver can't see through this “dome”, with no wipers or tear offs He/She has to go back all the way to the pits, while in the meantime they are losing track positions. then the pit time cleaning it.
@H151NF3RNA1MAJ3STY95 it's still open wheel racing whether or not the cockpit is closed. Definitely visibility would be an issue but this is formula one, I think they can figure it out! It would probably look very similar to the Caparo T1. I'm not saying this will definitely happen, just it seems likely as cockpit walls have been creeping ever higher and one of the main dangers in F1 is still objects intruding into where the driver sits. Massa's accident for example.
@MotorsportMonster You might need to watch it again, it is very similar. The main difference is it was in a corner so he impacted the outer wall and of course the disintegration of the main tub. Weber's fate might have been similar if not for the carbon fiber tub chassis F1 cars now have.
@MotorsportMonster Watch them both again. In open wheel racing they are both what is commonly known as a 'wheel touch blow over' less common these days but obviously still possible. Many drivers have died in this type of accident, the last I can think of was Jeff Krosnoff at the '96 Moulson Indy race, but I'm sure there have been others since. The corner makes the outcome different but the same event triggered the accident. Weber was very lucky he had all that run off area after the impact.
@MotorsportMonster As I said previously different ending, but same event triggered both accidents. Also, as I stated previously, if not for the strength of the carbon fiber tub chassis Webber might have had a very different outcome. It sounds like we almost agree... wait, this is a YouTube forum, we can't do that!
Agreed Marcus, although I have not seen much Nuvolari footage, all the great commentators say he drove in a very similar style to Gilles. However it's hard to build a relationship with someone you never actually saw, so Gilles will always be the best in my book. Btw sorry to all when i mentioned Button in the same sentence - he was just flavour of the month at the time of my original post, in no way did i consider him an equal.
Stunning how popular this page remains, Gilles forever!
@stebai66 I am pretty sure gilles was son enraged with pironi that he threw the engineers off him. If not then i am sorry, i missed this race but still. I find tazio the best but i get what your saying. Its just the thought of a small italian kicking superior german machinery in front of the fuhrers face makes me laugh a bit
@thalachyboy yah I want him to finish 52 seconds in front of his teammate, in the rain like Ayrton Senna did many times. Oh yes last no forget Ayrton won races with a car like in the beginning of his career . When Shume shit came to F1 he came in Benetton a championship car, plus he had Briatorre helping him with his cheat. Look at some videos on Barrichello letting him pass in finish line, then you mental retards want to say this guys is the greatest. Prost, Mansell, Jim Clark, Gilles, the best

shumacher only won 7 titles because he had a one second ahead car, and he was racing agains medicore drivers. Now hes back in F-1 against Lewis, Button, Alonso, Kubica, even Roseberg, and he can't get out the last top 10. Greatest of all time Ayrton and Giles.
@ericorenato88 Bollocks! Shumacher was an awesome driver, very aggressive but at the same time silky smooth, He's just past his best now. But i do agree with you Ayrton Senna was probably the greatest of all
@fez4 the difference between Senna/Schumacher and Villeneuve, was that Senna/Schumacher had the best cars available. Villeneuve had the worst car and he was able to win with it.
@ericorenato88 Are you kidding? His Mercedes is as slow as fuck, and he still comes in the top ten! after a few years of etirement! he is a genius at driving.

They were all our heros, they were the BEST, all of them. There are no great or greater, they ALL the GREATEST. All pilot, who has lost his life among what he likes. OK, this is just my opinion, even if I'm Senna fan forever.
@Ultrajuiced He fell out of the car with his racing seat. I read somewhere that those screws fastening his seat to the car (that ruptured in the accident) were designed to cope with 8 tons of stress...
hai infiammato la f1 con i tuoi sorpassi,le tue manovre,duelli memorabili.oggi niente è rimasto.
mi dispiace solo di non essere nato in tempo per vederti correre ma i tuoi video la dicono lunga sulla tua classe e il tuo talento.mancano i piloti come te.
stebai66: I agree & I am of a similar era. The best driver ever in my opinion, I was 9 years old when he died & I cried my eyes out. My first genuine hero, I've followed Ferrari ever since.
A truely brilliant racer! RIP Gilles.....you will never walk alone...x..
Ok I'm very sorry if this comment is overly voyeuristic and disturbing but the man giving gilles CPR puts his hand on his forehead and you can see how blue gilles face is. I just noticed that... wow poor guy. I hope he felt no pain or felt it only briefly. True champion =/
Il était exceptionnel, plein de panache et denvie ... Gilles Villeneuve était différent ... Différent, comme la écrit Johnny Rives dans LEquipe du 9 mai 1982, au lendemain du décès tragique de ce prince de la F1
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Is it a bird,is it a plane,no it is stupid man! weeeeeeeeee duuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrr SPLAT!!! ROFL it would have been badass if he did a front flip though.
someone that dies this way should be respected for what a commitment they have for what they do, even die. im not saying you have to should ur mouth, but im just wondering whatsup with the dissrespect?
that was probably the worst F1 accident that I ever saw in my life
but this guy was just the best

@MotorsportMonster You might need to watch it again, it is very similar. The main difference is it was in a corner so he impacted the outer wall and of course the disintegration of the main tub. Weber's fate might have been similar if not for the carbon fiber tub chassis F1 cars now have.

@jameshisself Webber's was far different!
MotorsportMonster 1 year ago
@MotorsportMonster Watch them both again. In open wheel racing they are both what is commonly known as a 'wheel touch blow over' less common these days but obviously still possible. Many drivers have died in this type of accident, the last I can think of was Jeff Krosnoff at the '96 Moulson Indy race, but I'm sure there have been others since. The corner makes the outcome different but the same event triggered the accident. Weber was very lucky he had all that run off area after the impact.
jameshisself 1 year ago
@jameshisself Almost right, except Webber's crash ended in a tyre barrier and he was not thrown out of the cockpit!
MotorsportMonster 1 year ago
@MotorsportMonster As I said previously different ending, but same event triggered both accidents. Also, as I stated previously, if not for the strength of the carbon fiber tub chassis Webber might have had a very different outcome. It sounds like we almost agree... wait, this is a YouTube forum, we can't do that!

Agreed Marcus, although I have not seen much Nuvolari footage, all the great commentators say he drove in a very similar style to Gilles. However it's hard to build a relationship with someone you never actually saw, so Gilles will always be the best in my book. Btw sorry to all when i mentioned Button in the same sentence - he was just flavour of the month at the time of my original post, in no way did i consider him an equal.
Stunning how popular this page remains, Gilles forever!

@thalachyboy yah I want him to finish 52 seconds in front of his teammate, in the rain like Ayrton Senna did many times. Oh yes last no forget Ayrton won races with a car like in the beginning of his career . When Shume shit came to F1 he came in Benetton a championship car, plus he had Briatorre helping him with his cheat. Look at some videos on Barrichello letting him pass in finish line, then you mental retards want to say this guys is the greatest. Prost, Mansell, Jim Clark, Gilles, the best

shumacher only won 7 titles because he had a one second ahead car, and he was racing agains medicore drivers. Now hes back in F-1 against Lewis, Button, Alonso, Kubica, even Roseberg, and he can't get out the last top 10. Greatest of all time Ayrton and Giles.
ericorenato88 1 year ago
@ericorenato88 Bollocks! Shumacher was an awesome driver, very aggressive but at the same time silky smooth, He's just past his best now. But i do agree with you Ayrton Senna was probably the greatest of all
