  • The Ferrari 126 of the 1982 world championship was a unique and frale construction, basically an aluminium honeycomb that were partly riveted and glued together, but the accident they suffered, any car would have destroyed themselves anyways

  • In some ways, being thrown from the car can be a good thing, it all depends how lucky you are in landing. According to Professor Sid Watkins Gilles was otherwise uninjured except for his broken neck, in a ironic twist being ejected stopped his legs getting mangled but injured his neck. In the 50s they did not use belts because it was seen as a advantage to be thrown from the car in case you got crushed inside it or burned from the fuel.

  • @monkeywrench666 Although I can't comment directly on the Ferrari 126, the use of glue in constructing a aluminum spaceframe chassis is very common. Lotus, Jaguar and Audi have been using glue in their aluminum spaceframes for years, and as the use of aluminum becomes more common with other manufactures, the practice is now widespread. Glue can be stronger than welding, it is cheaper to apply and lighter than welding - so, a win win situation.

  • @lazerpod66 That were glued? Were you one of the mechanics? Or one of the engineers? Did you plan the car or work on it throughout that season or are you just talking on the basis of some random internet article you saw somewhere years ago? Sources, please.

  • @monkeywrench666 The 126 had some panels that were glued, do the research before doubting man.

  • @lazerpod66 "glued together"...don't talk shit, pal.

  • @AyrtonSennaGODsPilot No. it was the McLaren MP4/1 driven by John Watson and Andrea de Cesaris already back in 1981.

  • Pironi during 1982 brought much death to F1, Villeneuve, Paletti and then ended his own racing career. Villeneuve idol. We miss you ....

  • looks like cheever with the red helmet

  • @scoregoals That's a very good point. Although there is debate as to whether his (Gilles) neck got broke when the nose first landed on the sandy section or whether when he landed on the fence. If it broke due to the fence, well then how damn unlucky really. -daz in oz

  • O famoso caixão sobre rodas

  • it's true, the 82 Ferrari didn't offer great protection it was the 'ground effects' design that was to blame for the violence of the Villeneuve and Pironi crashes as it caused the cars to launch into the air with dreadful consequences...as a result ground effect designs were banned at the end of 82
