Did that car just blow up? Looked like it did. Didnt see anything on the track at all. Just the explosion.

I remember Niki Lauder's horrible crash+smash but the Nuerburgring got safer. However its exclusion "for safety reasons" now just cannot be justified when Monaco continues. Bernie & pals want to concentrate on lucrative "emerging markets" in Asia and so will, I suspect, use any reason to cut down severely on the European circuits used. Sorry to say but safety isn't the primary consideration for this - for eg see the starting of in 86 and the continued use today of the Hungaroring.

@krakenwave If you look back at many of the FIA circuits (not just F1) that HAVE been made incredibly safer, there are portions of circuits that are disused or tracks being abandoned all together. Example,at Lemans the infinate changes there,like the addition of the Porsche Curves (moving the circuit away from Maison Blanche),Chicanes on Mulsanne.and the reprofiling of Mulsanne corner. F1 completely abandoned the Nurburgring all together. Fire fighting equipment and crews are better than ever.

You said it. Jackie lost many friends because of prevailing attitudes summed up by the "its already dangerous so why bother" line of reasoning. I mean, hay bales FFS! And the training of marshals (Kyalami 77 another notorious example) was just a cheap-ass pisstake of both the drivers and those fans who volunteered.

As a kid/teen watching F1 through the 70s and into the turbo era, I admit I miss the excitement of the high speeds and challenging circuits but - safety first. Always.

@DenStoreKlinge Oh, fair enough then. Such a shame to see talent perish so easily...

for some reason the video skipped, but he hit the tire wall and the fuel tank bursted.
