Many different angles, including spectacular onboard footage, of the horrific crash involving Ralf Schumacher and Jacques Villeneuve in Melbourne 2001. 52 year old track marshal Graham Beveridge was fatally injured by a stray wheel from Jacques Villeneuve’s BAR which unluckily managed to find a small gap in the fencing. This accident inspired major improvements to track safety to protect the voluntary track marshals. Luckily, there has not been another fatality since.
More info about Roger Williamson: www.asag.sk About the accident: GP Holland 1973. Roger Williamson crashes hard on lap 8, roll his car and catches fire. Only yards away stood a fire tender, but no order was given to stop the race and its driver refused, perhaps rightly, to drive against the direction of the traffic. Worse, marshals with fire extinguishers merely watched as Purley fought a lone battle to right the upturned March. He could hear Williamson inside it. Roger pleaded with him to get him out. Time and again Purley tried to lift the car, but each time he failed. For two laps – at least 2m 47s -the fire was minimal, but then it grew dramatically in intensity. David tried to fight it after grabbing an extinguisher from one marshal, but by then the fire had too strong a hold. As the marshals still remained immobile, appalled spectators began to try and help, unable to believe what they were seeing. Only then were marshals with police dogs galvanized into action, to keep them back. Finally, in the most callous act of cowardice ever seen in motor racing, they moved at last and tried to drag the desolate Purley away. He shrugged them off angrily. Roger was uninjured in the cockpit, but they left him to die of asphyxiation. When they finally arrived, the fire trucks were far, far too late. David Purley : Through his tears he said, “I just couldn’t turn it over. I could see he was alive and I could hear him shouting, but I couldn’t get the car over. I was trying to get …

Crash what you have never seen before! Engstler crashed into the safety car. SC ruined Engstler chances :S
INTEGRALE VESTITO CHANNEL – The death of Formula One triple world champion Ayrton Senna, on May 1, 1994, resulted from a crash that occurred while he was leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Italy. The accidents of Senna and Roland Ratzenberger (the previous day) were the first fatal accidents in Formula One in eight years, and were the worst of several accidents to take place during the race meeting. There have been many attempted explanations for the cause of his death, but no consensus has been reached. His death was a turning point in the safety of Formula One, as many safety measures have since been implemented. The Grand Prix Drivers’ Association was reformed later in 1994, and the association has contributed to these changes.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The 1998 Belgian Grand Prix (formally the LVI Foster’s Belgian Grand Prix) was a Formula One race held on August 30, 1998, at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps; contested over 44 laps, it was the 13th race of the 1998 Formula One season. The race was won by Damon Hill driving for the Jordan team. Hill’s team-mate, Ralf Schumacher finished in second position, with Jean Alesi finishing in third driving for Sauber. The race ran in extremely wet weather and on the first lap, David Coulthard lost control of his car causing a collision involving 13 drivers, which led to the race being stopped. After a delay to clear the track, a second attempt was made to start the race, albeit without four of the drivers involved in the incident. At the second start, championship leader and pole sitter Mika Häkkinen spun his car at the first corner and was hit by Johnny Herbert’s car forcing them both to retire from the race. Damon Hill took the lead of the race, until Michael Schumacher overtook Hill on lap eight. Schumacher had built up over 30 seconds of advantage over Hill by lap 24 when he came up to lap David Coulthard. After being instructed over the team radio to let him past, Coulthard slowed down, but stayed on the main racing line, and due to the spray behind him was unsighted by Schumacher who hit the back of his McLaren causing terminal damage to Schumacher’s Ferrari.
