Er war und ist der beste F1 fahrer aller zeiten,niemand hatte seitdem so ein talent wie er !! (sagte mal Ecelstone)

[Bech2go]

@pionier111 naja, ich würde sagen, er ist zusammen mit clark der beste. Beide hatten das Problem des deffektanfälligen Lotus, ansonsten waren sie eine Klasse für sich

@pioujd427 It's still heartbreakingly awful.

[pioujd427]

@azapro911 he wasnt champion until after the us grand prix

[TDirlewangerbra]

he was scared to die,if a fire broke out, so he didn´t used the seatbelt..

The sad part is. He would of never been able to celebrate his world championship victory.

RIP Jochen Rindt.

Monza is one of the last surviving classic GP circuits and now the fastest of them all on the calendar. It's despite the chicanes still a very dangerous circuit but as a motorsport fan I love it.

@VoidSkipper There were a lot of things that contributed to Rindt's fatal crash....Brake Line Failure...an AMCO Barrier not properly fastened (the car slid under it,and struck a vertical support...tearing the car in half). Finally, and I hate to say this......"Safety Equipment Negligence" on the part of Rindt...as, he was not wearing his crotch strap...causing him to "submarine" upon impact. It was with this...Jochen Rindt became the first ever POSTHUMOUS World F1 Champion.

@VoidSkipper

You're right, they did not die due to carelessness, but by the failure of the cars ...

oh, sorry for my bad English, I am Brazilian

[VoidSkipper]

@FeSantista4ever Notice that all the greats died due to car failure, not driver error?

Jim Clark: Tyre Failure

Jochen Rindt: Break line failure

Ayrton Senna: Steering column failure

@chikozo1 Back in the bad old days of F1, just spinning or hitting the wall was enough to kill the drivers. Without proper safety harnesses or the HANS device, the g-force applied to the head and neck in a spin or collision was just too much for any human to endure.
