F1 Australia 2001 Jacques Villeneuve crash (how the marshal was killed)

[DVDFerrari5]

sorta like Gilles crash.. must be scary for jacques

[luger666666]

poor guy. he took that wheel at like 280km/h right in the chest :S

[Nohjjohnthegreat]

I always get really scared when a tether breaks.

Death of a number of marshals, death of a number of drivers.

[2000F1fan]

@Nohjjohnthegreat There were no wheel tethers until 2002, that's why like every wheel flies off.

r.i.p

[corperationblackout]

How did the wheel get through? Was there a gap in the fence or something?

[85devotee]

@corperationblackout

There are always gaps at the places where marshals stand in order to wave the flags.

[xXClassifiediLINKXx]

@85devotee or at times the broadcasters camera

RIP Graham Beveridge.

[Buggerme77]

@AlexGRFan97 It's unfortunate he was struck. I'm sure he loved his job. Not everyone can say they see these F1 rockets up close at race pace. I'm glad someone knows his name. RIP Graham

[xIIJoshIIx]

@genxor you tosser

[soijiro666]

NO WAY! that never did happen!

[SerialKIillerrr]

where did this wider angle come from? i've never seen it before :S

[qwerty21345]

@SerialKIillerrr digital tv came to australia in 2001, which meant widescreen tv broadcasts for national events, hence the footage

[SerialKIillerrr]

@qwerty21345 how come u cant see this even in slow mo anywhere else? i'd like to see the replay here in normal speed or atleast not very slow mo

[qwerty21345]

@SerialKIillerrr because digital tv was not known to general public till about 2003, the only people that would have a full speed replay would be channel 9 themselves

[SerialKIillerrr]

@qwerty21345 so how does this guy have it? lol, i wanna see it in normal speed with the widescreen

[qwerty21345]

@SerialKIillerrr maybe channel 9 distributed an edited copy to the world press or something, a full widescreen vid of this would be hard to find

[SerialKIillerrr]

@qwerty21345 yep, thats why i wondered where this guy got it from lol

[ROONTANG]

@qwerty21345 Channel 9 weren't responsible for recording the race themselves, just as One HD aren't currently responsible for recording the Australian Grands Prix. Television stations simply purchase the right to broadcast Formula 1 from CVC, the group which owns F1's commercial rights, and the company which Ecclestone represents. The cameras and video feeds are controlled by FOM, and the feed with no commentary is then shared with commercial partners, who in turn use it in their own coverage.

[qwerty21345]

@ROONTANG channel 9 was responsible as FOM feed control only started when f1 digital plus was launched in 1997, n FOM only controlled that, not the world feed. FOM only started controlling the world feed from 2004.

[ROONTANG]

@qwerty21345 My mistake, sir!

[atjays]

[85devotee]

@atjays

It is the unfortunate marshal...

[f1racestime11]

It is a marshall. RIP Graham Beveridge
