Fittipaldi, um cara tão simples... Um brasileiro que só nos enche de orgulho...

Hard to believe that Koinigg was killed - gruesomely, but this wasn't even mentioned in this 'review'. It's almost as though if something is ignored we can pretend it didn't happen. If we had a death like that now, F1 would be in crisis.

The driver at 4:25 (fina car) was killed in his only 2nd race (watkins glen 1974). He was decapitated because of a punchure that sent him under the guardrail.

RIP Helmut Koinigg

Actually not. Koiniggs number was 18. Only moment his car is maybe seen is 5:03, the red one with huge air collector.

Instead of being the future king, he went on trying on having his own team and never winning a race again.

But I guess it was a interesting decision

Great to see formula 1 of 35 years ago in such good quality

That was great - thank you.
