My tribute to Ronnie Peterson the "Super Swede" who died during the 1978 Italian Grand Prix at Monza in an horrible start crash. He was one of the most talented and best skilled drivers during the 70's.
After driving carts and participating at Formula 2 he entered Grand Prix Racing in 1970.
He was driving for March, Lotus( Lotus 72 & 79 ground car effect) and Tyrrell ( six - wheeler) always with a Ford Cosworth V8 engine. For the 1979 season he already signed a contract with Mclaren.
Some of his team mates were Niki Lauda, Emerson Fittipaldi, Jacky Ickx, Vittorio Brambilla, Hans Joachim Stuck and Mario Andretti the 1978 worldchampion.
He won 10 of his 123 races, conquered the Pole Position for 14 times and made 9 fastest laps.
He was the most successful Swedish racing driver at F1. After all these years he still isn't forgotten.

  • @sunalexx My answer is simple, Money is our new Jesus, if you don't have any money you are totally fucked. Michael Schumacher has a lot of money but he is still racing and make a fool of himself. Can any human being with some sences explain why?

  • @kzbxvz Yeah...I remember very good this time. It was time, when the drivers were realy drivers, not as now...

    Peterson with March 761, Regazzoni, James Hunt ...But for me was the best Carlos Pace with beautiful Brabham BT-45 Alfa Romeo. Where are this times...:-(
