He was talking about Clay Ragazzoni. Not MIke the Bike

It's John Surtees.

Everytime I see anything about Kyalami I think Tom Pryce's horrific crash comes to mind and how gruesome it was. I couldn't imagine how those people in the stands or Zorzi must've felt seeing that happen at close range. RIP TOM PRYCE, the marshal and Peter Revson who died in 74'

@ursuss100 If you want the truth about Mike Hailwoods death read some websites which detail the truth not hearsay
By the way He drove a Rover car NOT a Chrysler Voyager.

@ursuss100 If this is Mike Hailwood you are talking about I'm afraid you are mistaken, He and his daughter had been out to the chip shop and were returning home when an articulated lorry did an illegal u turn across their path they died and are buried together. I don't know where you got your information from but I have read all sorts of information on the life and death of Mike Hailwood and have NEVER heard this before.

Those cars back then were ticking fire-bombs. How many lives would have been saved, (Williamson and almost Lauda etc.), if they didn't burst into flames that are pretty much inextinguishable.

@mohawkman251988 No, it doesn't sound anything like him :((

@mcqueenmachine The GC is actually for civilians and is the equivalent of the VC, but not in the face for the enemy. GM is the next one down from the GC and is awarded for acts of great bravery.
Mike Hailwood is my biggest sporting hero.

Is that Hailwood in the interview? Nice vid BTW. Great find.
I marshalled for a couple of seasons back in the '70's and risked my neck on more than one occassion! To me, if you wore the badge then you should be prepared to take the bullets! In other words, marshalling is not just about getting 'the best seats in the house' - its also about being willing to give whatever it takes to save another's life!

Purley gave a hell of an effort.
