Description
Listen in on a conversation Dick and Sabrina had about notable racing deaths that impacted F1 Safety.
Francios Cevert. Ronnie Peterson. Didier Pironi. Gilles Villenueve.
Sabrina recently read an article in Road and Track (The Lasting Legacy of Formula 1's Tragic Hero Francois Cevert) which had her thinking about previous eras of F1 where crashes and death were common.
New fans of the sport don’t necessarily understand the continuing impact these deaths have had on the sport’s safety.
Dick remembers many of these crashes and provides insights as to how the sport has evolved over time.
