The crash that killed what would have been Germany's first F1 champion. Clark and von Trips clashed and von Trips was killed along with several spectators. Phil Hill won the race, and the title (from von Trips in 2nd), by a single point.

  • Phil Hill died today from Parkinson's disease.

  • Indeed. RIP Phil.

  • Sorry Bealzbob but you're wrong , first mortal accident in F1 World Championship was the one involving Chet Miller on may 15th 1953 at Indy's 500 miles, race valid for the

    F1 championship .

  • You are correct. I stand corrected. Thanks.

  • Then it would not have been an honest result.

  • Those little fences were made to keep the people off the track, not to keep the cars out of the stands.

    Thank god safety has improved a lot since then.

  • Such a sad race. If I had lived back then I would been so insanely happy that Hill won the championship because I'm American and a big F1 fan (shocking I know). But I would have been so sad over Von Tripps's death

  • At 19 sec you can see his body

  • like G.Villeneuve, Ronnie peterson and Moss, Wolfgang is a Champion without a crown.

  • besides graham hill is an englishman not an american

  • @RTBaLLa i know it.

  • @MonacoLager1 Phil Hill was a occassional champion with the von trips die

  • He could have won the world championship... But i guess he would have prefered to live instead and fight for it year after year...

    R.I.P :(

  • worse was le mans in 1955. Levegh crashed and his engine, gearbox assembly and rear axle flew into the crowd @ 150 mph, killing 79 people.

  • no wonder you've got (-9) thumbs down, because youre an idiot. have some respect for those who died, so go hate somewhere else you dipshit indy500 yank.

  • 15 spectators died in this accident. RIP driver and all.
