goodwilltubing your videos are so informative and respectful. All these deaths are awful but your tributes are tasteful and respectful. Let's hope fatal accidents in motor racing never happen again thanks to improving safety.

Happy racing from England

Thx for the praise, dazcous!

It's my goal to make my tributes as much respectful and informative as possible.

May these heroes will never be forgotten.

Nowadays safety is much bigger than back in those days, but fatalities will happen everytime (see Henry Surtees or Carlos Pardo).

It's the risk of death these guys are willing to pay.

Its weird to look back on that driver swap that never happened. If Ronnie would have switched rides with Tom Pryce, would they both be with us today? This is another well made video. Very Respectful. 5/5.

THX zbc!

Maybe Tom would have lived on, cause the accident on Kyalami was a cause of milliseconds.

I think nobody would have reacted in time, cause the reactiontime was too short.

Still heroes in our heart!

RIP Tom & Ronnie

@goodwilltubing apart from that, GWT, that terrible crash -Monza '78 for the F1WC- was caused -also- by a major power outage at the track, therfeore producing an unexpected scoring error at the very start of the race -look for Villenueve, Andretti and all other drivers running away @ :51-.:55.-.....

If Ronnie was in Tom's car, he would have raced and qualified differently from Tom, and maybe everyone would have missed Janson if Tom's car was at a different area. and Pryce might have qualified in a different spot at this race and might not have had the some problems Ronnie had... but again these are all what ifs? R.I.P. to Ronnie Peterson and R.I.P. to Tom Pryce.

[goodwilltubing]

I never knew that that was a questionable possibility!

Like I wrote above, i think that Ronnie's accident could have been avoided, but Pryce's never.

In 1974 the idea of the trade was out there. Peterson was more know, and would have brought sponsors to Shadow, and Pryce would have saved Lotus money, because he was a rising star who would have had a contract of less money than Ronnie. Lotus also believed that Pryce was as talented as Peterson. I am not sure why it never worked out, but its sad that both drivers would die of freakish causes in the years that followed.

i just noticed that that is true! to be honest i never knew, but if Tom was given to Ronnie's seat, he would probaly became either 1-4th. if Ronnie was om Tom's car, he might have been able to dodge Van Vuuren. A truley life changing accident(s)
