Wtf is going on in this pic?

Yeah, he calls the corner he crashed at "Barbecue Corner" or something, honestly, he is a bundle of contradictions, he bravely comes back after the horrific crash at Nurburgring, when the priest was giving him the last rites, but then at Fuji in 1976, he pulled out of the championship finale saying it was too wet, handing the title to Hunt.

Of course, after what happened to him a few weeks before, that would be my decision too!

At least the rain might have put out the fire :P

yes, but remember he crashed in the wet, there is more too it that appears


The fuji race was delayed probably 3 or 4 hours, and it wasnt that safe to even start it, they had to in the end or it would have been too dark, it was streeming wet, wetter than since probably well since i can ever remember seeing really... no one wanted that race started.

At the ring, he crashed in the wet, and after a crash like that, so soon as well, it was hardly surprising he didnt want to risk his life in those conditions, remember this was in the days where people, were killed...

Having said that, take nothing away from hunt, he fully deserved that title, and matched niki, in what was a 4 year old design, it was out of date, and james got more out of the car than emerson ever did, in its prime, he had a stunning season, lots of bad reliability, and ferrari political games to contend with, which really evened out the races niki missed etc. Vastly under rated driver, Hunt, imho

I apologise for not having the vast knowledge you have andrew

Also dont forget that, so i heard, the weather in Fuji was so wet that Lauda couldnt blink to protect his eyes, his eyelids having been melted away or to his face during the accident

Due to the voting system in Germany, Governments are always made up of coalitions of different parties. At the last election, an almost unprecidented result saw the CDU/CSU (rough equivilant of the Conservatives) go into Government with the SPD (rough equivilant of Labour)

daftest moment I've seen was when Jos Verstappen took the door off teh mediacl car in Brazil a couple of years ago...

who was it who crashed to cause the medical car to go onto the tracK?

i remember Nick went through the Senna S and messed up and hit the car, and the driver in the other car looked on bemused as he got out of the car or something. He couldn't believe it.

cheers Dave. He was sort of standing up in his car trying to get the steering wheel on, then Nick comes past and hits the medical car, and 'On-reekie' watches it happen, then puts his hands on his head like he can't believe it IIRC.

anyone got a video clip?
