[dazincalculation]

"One Ferrari gearbox slightly used" says James Hunt at 1:49 Funny Bloke. Though not so funny for poor Gilles cause his hand waving was in fear of being crashed into since he was temporarily blinded. -dazinoz

That Ferrari was an absolute dog. I think Schekter even failed to qualify it once.

[didickcheeseburger]

aint that the same spot ratzenberger crashed and died at in 1994?

[DAH210774]

@didickcheeseburger Yes

[LouisMenchise]

@didickcheeseburger Yes, it is.

[McLaren422]

@didickcheeseburger yes

[tor378a]

@didickcheeseburger Yes, this accident is eerily the same as Ratzenberger's. Same spot exactly. Wow.

[beetleman64]

@tor378a Yes eerily similar. Villeneuve was saved because the car lost speed as it spun and because it was far more of a glancing blow while Ratzenburger was pretty much head on.

Very lucky with that one Villeneuve! What a huge incident!
