F 1 accident
The early development of F 1 racing car is to pursue higher and faster speed. So F 1 racing itself is a very dangerous sport. Even the track was simple in the early days. The great alberto ascari lost control and fell into the sea in 1955. But he miraculously swam over.
Unfortunately, however, a few months later, he still died on the Italian track.
F 1 accident
Because of the high speed, many drivers died in the 1950s. And people's indifference to the driver's life. It's like watching a performance at the Colosseum in Rome. Blood boiling, cheering. Even though the racer was lucky enough to survive, the audience still admired his good luck.
In addition, the safety performance of the British team is greatly improved because of the rear engine. But this kind of car is considered to be the result of behind closed doors.
On the contrary, super radicals like Lotus Team are sought after by the industry. Colin Chapman, the designer of this team. The speed can be designed to be particularly high, but the body is in danger of disintegration at any time.
F 1 accident
So in Belgium in the 1960s, three of the four cars involved in the accident belonged to Lotus Team. It caused a serious accident with two deaths and two injuries. Until the 1960s, F 1 racing cars still paid too much attention to speed, so that drivers were constantly killed, even spectators were not spared.
Although some drivers protested, the superiors told the drivers that they could drive slowly if they wanted to be safe. This is complete nonsense.
1968, jim clark died while attending F2. Although he repeatedly stressed that the car itself was not good before the game, no one made the right decision for him. So in this accident, his racing car hit a tree and broke his neck.
At that time, racing cars only pursued speed, not safety. Racing drivers are just lucky if they want to survive.
Chapman is still obsessed with speeding up. Connect the engine to the chassis. And also frantically enlarged the wing of the car, and the last driver died on the wing.
To my horror, even if a driver dies in the race, the race will never stop.
Not only are cars dangerous, but even the laying of tracks is sloppy. The protective wall at the starting point of the track. It is made of poles. There are petrol cans everywhere. The uniform is cotton, the helmet is leather, and there is no seat belt.
Moreover, the body is made of magnesium. It was hard to put out at first.
Even some footprints are surprisingly rare, between forests, shrubs and Yuan Ye.
One of the survivors rushed straight out of the track during the race, but fortunately, a driver gave up the race to rescue him.
With more and more racing drivers being killed, Jackie? Stuart founded the Drivers' Association. Even for the dignity of the driver, you can't trample on your own life like this.
