Another near death experience for Clay Regazzoni, this is by far the clearest quality picture of the wrecked Ensign. Its amazing that anyone could get out of this wreck alive.

Sadly Clay's luck would run out and he was killed in a road accident in Italy on 15th December 2006.

Its not often you will see this, F1 cars racing in the snow...

Ronnie Peterson during the 1973 International Trophy non-championship F1 race at Silverstone. Peterson managed to finish 2nd even with the spin, during a brief snow flurry, behind Jackie Stewart's Tyrrell.

South African F1 racer John Love drove mainly in his local African series but also took part in the Championship round from the early sixties. He finished 2nd in 1967.

John crashed at Clubhouse corner at Kyalami in a local series race, when the throttle pedal stuck open and the car rammed itself between the armco barriers, stopping just short of his head.

From page 56.

The first two photos were on the above post but these ones are bigger and the third I had never seen before. The third photo particularly shows just how lucky John was not to be dicapitated...

Late in the Canadian GP of 1977 and initially Riccardo Patrese spun his Shadow into the abandoned Hesketh of Rupert Keegan. Then Mario Andretti laid oil on the track and Brambilla spun his Surtees into the stationary cars which were very nearly followed by Danny Ongais in his Interscope Penske who spun but was able to continue. The first photo is of the second Surtees of Hans Binder who spun out on lap 31.
