Answer 1

our question is interesting. Statistically duty who have carried the record total deaths in the history of F1. I can help you with all pilots dead in either race, classification or practices.

1952: prior testing of Monaco GP, proves that at that time not a member of the world championship calendar, died on the first slain F1: Italian Luigi Fagioli.

1953: Americans Chet Miller and Carl Scarbourough in the first and second tests already in the race for the 500 miles of Indianapolis, being on 1 dead in official competition puntuable the F1 world.

1954: in trials of GP of Germany kills Argentine Onofre Marimon, who was involved with Maserati, being killed in the first official evidence of global calendar. While in private tests in Italy dies Italian Alberto Ascari.

1955: Americans Manuel Ayulo and Bill Vukovich also the first and second tests during competition Indianapolis.

1957: American Keith Andrews in Indianapolis.

1958: The first year with tragic deaths racing, it began its American Pat O'Connor in Indianapolis, in Germany the English GP Peter Collins, who was involved with Ferrari. The Italian Luigi Musso, also with Ferrari at the French GP. To complete the year in Morocco GP of the English Stuart Lewis-Evans who ran with Vanwall and English-Alan Scott Brown in the GP of Belgium.

1959: Americans Jerry Unser and Bob Cortner during testing of Indianapolis.

1960: Englishmen Cris Bristow who ran with Cooper and Alan Stacey with Lotus make the GP of Belgium in the most tragic so far.

1969: in trials of the German GP of Germany Gerhard Mitter.

So far the 60s is the most tragic with 10 pilots killed and 7 of whom were in formal powers and 2 trials.

1970: British Piers Courage with a De Tomaso GP in Holland and in trials of Italy GP with a Lotus, the Austrian Jochen Rindt, who then points to the championship may not exceed any other pilot until the end of same, which made him the first and only champion "Post morten" of the history of F1. Testing for the category Cam-Am in Goodwood, England dies also the New Zealand Bruce McLaren.

1971: Swiss Joseph Siffert competing with BRM in England in a competition outside the world championship and the Mexican Pedro Rodriguez in a competition of Sport Prototypes in Germany. In a competition of Sport Prototypes in Bs. Ace. Argentina Ignacio Giunti the Italian.

1973: French Francois Cevert competing in the trials of U.S. GP Tyrrell and English with Roger Williamson in March with the Dutch GP. While the Swiss Silvio Moser Monza in Italy in a competition of Sport Prototypes.

1974: Helmut Koinigg the Austrian GP in the U.S. with Surtees, and American Peter Revson with Shadow in private tests in South Africa.

1983: German Rolf Stommelen in Riverside U.S.

1985: Germans Stefan Bellof running a competition for Sport Prototypes in Belgium and Manfred Winkelhock other similar nature in Germany.

1986: Italian Elio De Angelis with Brabham in private testing in France.

1994: Austrian Roland Ratzenberger with Simtek, in trials of the San Marino GP and Brazilian Ayrton Senna career with Williams back in the same GP.

With the death of Ayrton Senna were 21 deaths in track history of F1. As 10 more dead in the official tests of the GP.

Also since that fateful 01/05/94 have elapsed 12 years 270 days without fatal accidents, being the longest period without muertes.recuerdo Reutemann who want to kill one without a practice.

It is a video that collects accident of the heroes of the sport. It really is impressive, but at the same time very hard.

The aim of this mandar e-mail is for people to see that it is only a sport but also in tenths of a second is truncated life. It seems lie all the people who had been ahead since started this dream ...

Now we see accidents that really put the hair stand on end, but technology and security systems are totally light years away from our heroes of Formula 1.
