RIP 4 those who died

Senna will never be forgotten!

niemand zal senna vergeten

these drivers deserve to be called legends,R.I.P...

Senna is the best!

Each driver is hero!

legyen az álmotok szép

neked is amugy részvétem a versenyzőknek ayrton senna a kedvencem

I hope they`ve got great races up there....

bassza meg aki imolát építette

Nyugodjatok békében!

Imolát már 94 után kivettem volna a versenynaptárból. Amúgy meg egy unalmas, jellegtelen pálya. Ha tényleg csak egy olasz nagydíj lenne, akkor én azt mondom, hogy az Monzában legyen.

brazilie 2004 ,laatste ronde alonso...

amai wa da daar allemaal gebeurt en die dode kerel dan nog erger

I miss a couple of crashes. Tom Pryce in South Africa, Ralph Schumacher in Indianapolis (twice), J. Villeneuve in, I believe, Australia with a marshall dying from a loose tyre, and a crash at the start of a GP where an engineer is sandwiched by two cars when he runs back to the track when te car stalls. Don't know when or where it was. And of course, as mentioned before, the crash in the last round in Brasil, 2004 in the rain.

i miss the crash when burti crash in to a tire wall with the tyres all over the car

Senna a legjobb!!!

They are not heroes! They get paid a lot, they know the risks and they choose to take 'm theirselfes. Senna was not a hero because he was excellent at his job. (Perhaps because of what he did outside of it: his charity and all) There are many people with far more dangerous jobs who don't get even half the credit these guys do. They are just like actors,writers etc. : entertainment for the masses, that's all, no more no less. Hell, even horseriding is much more dangerous (statisticly) than racedriving.

Senna is the best RIP

dood aan senna?

dood gaan we allemaal

No hero's kill children in wars right Jan?

Iedereen lult maar over Senna, en die arme Ratzenberger wordt helemaal vergeten....

Bla Bla bla...

Waarom moet alles altijd eindigen in ruzie. A hero is a relative perception of any person, it is a combination of emotions and events. One mans hero does not need to be a hero for all, but please dont knock eachother for having them ...

They all were drivers in F1, they all knew...but Senna and Fangio were the best drivers.

Nathan, I guess you're right, if you want to call an f1 pilot your hero, go ahead. I just don't think that way. I do have a lot of respect for them, but to me a hero is someone who risks his own life to save other people, not for money or fame or the trill or whatever these guys do it for.
And no SeeQ, I didn't mean soldiers, not at all! To even think I support violence in any form I find very offensive.
All "blablabla" aside, these are some scary crashes!
I also liked the one in Francorchamps (Belgium) after the huge pile-up where Shumi hit Coulthard in the back and later on in the pits wanted to slap him silly. Not spectacular but funny. (and I'm a Damon Hill fan, he won that race)

@ twister, indeed, the crash of burti at spa think 2001with irvine was also amazing

Iedereen Jochen Rind vergeten?

, the crash in the last round in Brasil, 2004 in the rain.

jah waar was die en de start crash in imola mis ik ook nog

It would be interesting to know the teams involved in all the crashes. Most are mentioned, but some were missed. Some were obvious. Who will forget Senna. I have disliked Williams ever since.

haha verstappen.. stomme hollander

I met Senna the week he won his last Monaco ,he was very gracious.I thougth Schumaker broke his legs in the British Grand Prix

mooi om naar te kijken ,maar ik zou het zelf niet graag meemaken zalle

OMG its hard to see.
RIP 4 all of these herous

'haha verstappen.. stomme hollander' stupid racist

Spijtig dat we nooit de echte confrontatie mochten meemaken tussen senna en M.Schumacher.

Personally, I felt deeply saddenedby Tom Pryce's death, being Welsh I felt we'd lost a true potential champion.

There were other crashes that maybe deserve a mention. The terrible crash of Jaque Lafitte at the start of the 1995 British F1 race at Brands Hatch, where there were complaints that the marshalls were too slow. I forget which Monaco GP had one car going over another, leaving tire treads on the driver's helmet. Then there's the crash where Senna was in the lead by 30 seconds, "lost concentration", crashed and went home for a drink, sparking a massive scare.

Mansell broke his neck in one accident - he wore a neck brace for the rest of his career because he left hospital before the injury had healed. (One poster said F1 drivers aren't heros. I say anyone who can drive a F1 car and then an Indycar with a permanently broken neck is as deserving of the title as ANY mythological ancient Greek hero.)

The most amazing almost-crash was Mansell's blowout at 240 mph on the long straight in the Australian GP, costing him the world championship. The longest-in-memory crash goes to the total destruction of Old Number One when it left the track and slammed through the trees at the end of the Goodwood circuit. Old Number One was subject to a court case over how rebuilt a car could be before it ceased to be original.

The only other F1 crash that springs to mind was one where Prost went through three safety fences in an accident where he stopped mere feet from almost certain death. However, in a sport where the total destruction of machinary is the only certainty, there will be many many others.

how the hell could Barrichellos car fly up like that!?

Quite graphic indeed. It's particularly disturbing to see Gilles Villeneuve flying in the air... I'll also never forget Jochen Rindt in 1970. I was a kid and had to puke when I heard that his throat was sliced by the seatbelt. F1 has its 'moments' sometimes.
RIP

So sad :( Senna and Razenberger are the ones that I remember verywell. Also Verstappen's flames.

These are missing Häkkinen's accident in Australia GP, was it '95? He was in bad condition and spent severaly days in the hospital (coma).

wow!!

It is very sad how senna, ratzengerger and villeneuve died. They will never be forgotten!

Senna was the driver of the world!
