How ironic that Pironi dedicated his pole for Gilles who died a Zolder earlier in the season. Yet it was his very own stalled car that acted like a brick wall when the novice yet undiscovered Paletti slammned into him at just over 100mph. Very sad year in F1. RIP all those legends who loved what they were doing and would die trying to be the very best. Man those cars were all so beautil. Murray Walker is a legend of motor sport. The grandfather of TV commentry and such a gentleman.

@Zoomer30 The drivers legs are by no means a crumple zone. Back in the days the cars were just too weak, but today the cars have a crumble zone in the nose of the car where there is nothing but suspension and wires. The drivers legs are in a contained box behind that. It is not the open wheel design that is the problem it was just the safety regulations that were not strict enough back then.

Being 17 i haven't witnessed a fatality in formula 1 luckily. Hope that these days are gone :\

@masterhalco You totally did. I was raging. I even threw my laptop across the room and broken it. Now I'm posting from the public library.

@icuwoot I got the reaction from you. I know you're a sucker, but try to make it less obvious, idiot.

@masterhalco Neither driver involved ever raced with Senna, and both were dead before Senna was even a champion in F1, let alone before the crash at Imola. I know you're trolling and trying to get a reaction from people, but try and make it less obvious, idiot.

@MrChrisalf2004 Paletti ordered the assassination of Senna. Open you eyes and see the truth. I bet you think 9-11 was muslims crashing airplanes too.

@masterhalco What are you talking about? Paletti never raced with Senna. Murray Walker, as a commentator also had nothing to do with the death of Senna. Pironi being on Villeneuve's mind when he crashed fatally at Zolder is what I suppose you mean but Pironi doesn't die in this video so I don't know what you mean.

[masterhalco]

Good Riddance. This guy caused Senna's death.

Whatever you might have thought of Pironi in light of the Villeneuve controversy at San Marino - let it be said that Pironi did everything he could to do to try to save Paletti.

@dude2106 The cars were NOT too weak. The problem was that the drivers were seated too far forward. A driver could reach outward with his arms and touch the wheels. Incredibly, FISA did absolutely nothing after this accident...they waited until Pironi's Germany accident to change the regs.
