I didnt see a crash. Was it a lie? hah

[fordrule888]

I don't think there is any footage of the real accident this is just a news report.

The 1994 Benetton was a nice looking car. The '96 one looked nicer though in my opinion.

What became of that driver anyway?

I was way too young in '94

[fordrule888]

I agree with the benneton b194 being a nice looking car.

in 1994 he raced 6 races for benetton and then 3 races for Sauber. after f1 he raced at lemans winning twice once with Mclaren in 1995 and Audi in 205

True, but the sad fact is he wasn't given a chance to prove it. Luckily, unlike Phillipe Streiff, JJ is still able to walk. I'm sure he values that over any success he could have perceived in hisw F1 career.

Much like Olivier Panis, too. His leg breaking crash stopped a championship charge in '97. Who's to say he wouldn't have gone on to take it? He was on fire that year.

@McLarenMercedes so what? Mansell was sitting in the best car and got the first place when Schumacher and Hill collided.. and you can´t compare Fangios or Brabhams time with today..it´s as fuckin different as it can be..back then the drivers didn´t need lightning-fast reactions, they just needed to be brave an brake less than the others..

@bourlivak88 Not without his number one status which he had in Ferrari and Benetton

@bourlivak88

Nigel Mansell won his last race in 1994 aged 41.

5 time champion Juan-Manuel Fangio took his 5'th title aged 46 (many of his rival drivers were in their 20's)

Jack Brabham won a race and nearly was champion in 1970 aged 44.

@bourlivak88

Then why did he make a come-back in the first place?

Hope he likes being an also-ran in the races of 2011.

@rdf1988 He is now facing JAIL time after killing his friend while driving drunk with his boat and crashing into a bridge.
