THE BLINDED AND THE BROKEN NECKS! Four Formula One Career Ending Accidents
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- This is something the audience has been asking for over the last few months. I cover so many deaths and tragedies in motorsport that it's easy to overlook those who ended up living to tell the tale, and also being able to have other opportunities elsewhere in other forms of motorsport.
So in this list video, which I normally hate doing, I look at four drivers who ended up suffering career ending injuries, and what they ended up doing afterwards.
This is also a selection of four drivers, if I covered everyone in detail this thing would be an hour long!
Enjoy! And remember to like and subscribe for more!

The Donnelly crash at Jerez was just on the run into the two right turns before the final hairpin. Not the back stretch hairpin. It's why that chicane was there for 1994
the Senna documentary shows the aftermath, the camera view is from the roof of pit complex.
Pinned, won’t stop others from mentioning it kekw.
@@AidanMillward Kekw Rosberg
In fairness, with Millward HQ currently operating under limited facilities, that should have crossed my mind
@@ADxWales81 the thing said back straight before the hairpin. Since Jerez only has one long straight it made sense for it to be that one. 🤣
@@AidanMillward that got modified in 1992. Before that it was a layout on hungaroring levels of overtaking space. Not that it stopped some amazing racing during the turbo era
Tight? I thought that meant slow as well, but these last two turns are lightning fast.
Just try it in a simulater racer, the margin for error is small. And in those days kerbstones were designed to really throw you off balance.
I don't know if kerbstones were involved in Donnelly's crash, but i felt it worth to mention.
I saw Donnelly a few years ago on TV, where he turned out to be a teacher on some sort of driving school.
Me and the wife were watching it and when i heard his name i immediately knew that it was him. There were some other references on TV that just seemed to confirm it, i think he also limped a bit.
Peter Sauber might be worth a video. After Karl Wendlinger's crash he added head protection to his cars mid-season, valuing their safety over a bit of performance loss. It took the FIA 18 months (and Hakkinen surviving an accident which should have been fatal) to catch up. At times he probably had more integrity than the rest of the pit lane put together.
Birthday buddies with Peter.
@@AidanMillward Awesome! 😎
(Hope the move's going/gone well.)
Helmut Marko won Le Mans with Dutchman Gijs van Lennip. But as we said in the Netherlands at the time: “They had 24 hours to do so”.
Jacques Laffite for me is one of the more underrated F1 drivers ever seen. Could've challenged for the 1979 championship after dominating the opening two races, was an outside shot of the 1981 championship in what was at least the 3rd best car on the grid behind Williams and Brabham. Even in his 40s, he was still scoring podiums and could've even won the 1986 Detroit GP which shows just how good he really was.
I was at Brands when Jacques was squeezed into barrier protecting the access tunnel from the paddock. That was a huge smash and immediately everyone watching in the area knew it was bad. I later met one of the first St John's Ambulance medics on the scene who told me that Laffite's legs were in such a state that he was lucky that neither was amputated.
Completely agree. He was my favorite driver when I started watching F1 in the late 70s
Exactly. I'd put him surely into Top 10 with no crown, maybe even Top 5. He started when he was good over 30 y.o. and had his great years during near 40. Also, I think Renault was along with Williams the best cars of 81. Ligier and Brabham 3rd.
He is a legend
Not a F1 crash but the Alex Zanardi Indycar crash has got to be one of the most shocking career ending crashes ever. A miracle he lived but then he moves on and achieves elsewhere.
Similar thing with Christiano da Matta, drove some in F1 and was nearly killed when he hit a deer in practice at Elkhart Lake when he went back to IndyCar. He came back and raced other cars, but his career in big time racing was over.
thanks for another gem Aidan, but man, how did Alex Zanardi get missed? he was in F1 for multiple seasons, lost both his legs and came back as paraplegic to compete and win in auto-racing. deserves his own video really.
Probably because he was in CART then and not F1
Because I wasn’t out to name every driver, and done videos on him before.
Just because I haven’t named every conceivable option doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten 😉
Robert Wickens scored a podium this weekend in IMSA TCR class at Road America.
Just a follow up on JJ Lehto. In 1998 he drove in CART for Carl Hogan a mid-pack, underfunded team. JJ's best showings were qualifying 4th at Milwaukee and a 5th place finish at Surfers Paradise. Before the start of the '99 season JJ saw that the weekend of the 24 Hours of Le Mans there was no CART race scheduled and asked if he could go run in it. For some reason this upset Carl who promptly fired JJ. At the same time Helio Castro-Neves was out of a job because the team he'd driven for the year before, Bettenhausen, had folded. So Helio was hired by Carl to replace JJ. Helio impressed, qualifying on pole at Milwaukee and getting a 2nd place finish at Gateway. Which got the attention of Roger Penske. If JJ hadn't asked to go to Le Mans, who knows, Helio might still be an unemployed former race car driver.
Well, Penske had signed Greg Moore initially, but Moore tragically died during the 1999 season finale. Look him up, he was the real deal.
@@harmkuijpers6642josh revell made a good video on him
@@harmkuijpers6642 But I think the point is if Helio had not gotten that opportunity and shined at Hogan, he may not have been on Roger's radar screen after the death of Moore.
You should cover David Purley, from silverstone to the dutch grand prix, his military career could give you a whole series
The man with nine lives.
@@AidanMillward and the definition of a hero throughout his life.
Holy hell. an Adam Blampied joke. in a Formula 1 video.
Fucking legend
More of a joke with how many Adams WC Wrestling has. Blampied, Cleary, Wilbourn & Nicholas
It was on ECW One Night Stand guys!
@caphowdy666 also a joke on how it's gotten to the point that Adam's now like "yes, that's related to this list too and no, I'm not talking about it because I've done so way too many times. If I so much as think someone is going to say I've 'forgotten' it, I'll beat them up for realsies"
@@caphowdy666 As someone who has watched WC Wrestling, I can't believe I never picked up on that.
He got into a bit of trouble, stayed off TH-cam for a while and is now on a channel called Wrestletalk.
As massive F1 fan in the late 80/ then 90's Senna was my hero, then Donnelly appeared, local support, I remember that crash...horrific
i would have added johnny herbert, yes he made it to f1 but he was never as fast as he was in the junior categories after almost losing his foot at the brands hatch formula ford festival.
his accident at brands was in F3000, he'd already been in talks with F1 teams around the time of it
"I'm Adam from WhatCulture...." Spit-take. Well played, Aidan, Well played. That's twice now...
Though he wasn't in F1, the Robert Wickens story is one worth telling, especially his inspiring return to racing in touring cars as a paraplegic.
Also Jason Watt from Denmark
Lehto has said himself that when he came back after his pre season crash that he wasn’t physically ready. He was in agony every time he bit the brake pedal. The accident by all accounts was caused because Lehto couldn’t believe how hast Schumacher was and trying to push way beyond what he and car were capable off. The Benetton blown diffuser was a lot more binary than the Williams one and if you weren’t a confident left foot braker, it was very hard to keep the floor energised and the car glued to the track. Also, Schumacher was definitely running TC that year whereas the other car wasn’t…
Ahh yes.
Cheater schumacher. Should have been banned for life.
According to them it wasn't TC, it was Launch Control. Hmmm........
Imagine Ferrari with Kubica and Alonso in 2011 or 2012 (heard the former was in discussion with them before his rally accident)
Not Formula One, but just to throw his name out there: Sam Schmidt, who has had a pretty good run as a team owner since his career ending crash landed him in a wheel chair.
One driver not related to Formula 1 perhaps worth mentioning is Steve Park.
Steve Park was a rookie in NASCAR who had a lot of talent. His second win came just one week after Dale Earnhardt's death, the man who had hired him and was the former owner and operator of the team Steve ran for, Dale Earnhardt Inc.
It came crashing down on September 1, 2001. During a Busch race while under caution, Steve Park's steering wheels came off under caution at Darlington. His car swerved dead to the left, and by the worst chance of luck another car driven by Larry Foyt was charging down the track to take place in line for the upcoming restart. Larry demolished the left side of Park's car, with Larry stating he had to have been going at least a hundred miles an hour on impact. Park was airlifted to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, including serious brain damage, broken ribs, slurred speech and double vision. While he did eventually race again, he never seemed to have the same talent he once had. He never won another race in NASCAR's top division, one final victory in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2005.
Steve Park was definitely a what could have been driver in the NASCAR ranks. I hope he is doing well.
Johnny Herbert could almost be on this list, impossible to say how his F3000 crash affected him later, he still limps to this day I think.
He’s legally disabled and has a blue badge.
@@AidanMillward wow never knew that! Good luck with your new home☺
@@solsol1624 there’s actually a funny story about it. The council that issued him that blue badge in the late 80s saw he’d been racing formula one cars and pulled him in to say “are you having a fucking laugh?”
@@AidanMillward LOL can kinda understand it though. Does he still have the badge?
@@solsol1624 think he does.
Philippe Strieff , not sure of the spelling , He was rendered a quadriplegic in a testing crash , in the late 80s.
In terms of the McLaren F1 at Le Mans, I think it's funny how people always say "well if the race conditions or other factors were different, the result would have been different." Well no shit. Lol you can say that about just about any race in history. 😂 that's racing though. The conditions were what they were and the result was what it was. To try to take away the great performance of the car and drivers is silly.
That's what I hate the most
'If it wasn't for x, someone else would win'
Of course, but that's how racing works. Hell, that's how life works.
It would also be interesting to see the best final races in F1, for example Clark winning his final race or Rosberg winning the title
Would be good to see that actually, it’s always sad seeing a big star’s final race end in disappointment like Coulthard in the wings for life red bull etc but would be nice to see the flip side of that with people who ended on a high
Peter Brock channel actually has a video on that regarding F1 champions last races
@@TheAmeteurAssassinsRed Bull didn't give him wings
A healthy JJ Lehto would have never been able to realize anything at Benetton. They recycled drivers to keep Schumacher from having to fight a teammate (which Lehto was capable of doing). Let's not all forget that the first time Michael Schumacher had to work with on equal terms with a teammate, he got his butt kicked for 3 years by Nico Rosberg.
Helmut Marko would have been the interesting one to see where we would have gone had the accident not happened.
2 time Le Mans winner, not just 1971 but also won the 3 litre class in 1970, and claimed the 1971 european sports car championship. So not a one-off or fluke.
Could also beat Lauda in the lower catagories and finished in front of him in the majority of those 10 starts in F1.
Always love getting the notifications for your vids Aidan, Such an ultimately unfortunate topic but extremely interesting nonetheless. Keep up the incredible work mate! And keep loving great music :) 🤘🖤
Adam from whatculture?
JJ ended up with severe problems with alchohol, later being in a lethal boating accident where his friend was killed.
Evidence was strong that JJ piloted that boat.
After that his wife filed for divorce as JJ claimed that his friend had driven the boat and not him.
He was aquitted from the charges as most felt he was guilty and should had got 5 years prison time, guess when your famous you have different standards.
They couldn’t prove he was driving or something like that.
If Schumacher would be racing today the comment sections after most races would be a war zone. Verstappen and everyone on the grid actually are absolute angels and all deserve a sportsman of the year award. If you watched that whole era, even as a Schumacher fan, you must agree.
Never knew JJ Lehto's F1 career was mostly affected by a neck injury. That's bought up something interesting that I used to notice when watching the ALMS from 2003-2005: If you've ever seen the onboards of Lehto whenever he was driving that Champion Racing Audi R8, you'll notice his head compresses deep in under breaking (Something I didn't see with any of his teammates).
Here's one such example: th-cam.com/video/ehZgRPH5rVA/w-d-xo.html
Could this be because of said injury?
There was some evidence (dunno how valid) that JJ's chassis was in fact cracked since Imola, and that this was finally found after Montreal.
I'd have never thought to compare Malcolm Tucker and Helmut Marko.
But now you have, I can't see anything else!
Aaand you forgot Alex Zanardi. Probably one of the greatest 'what i did after a driving career crash'.
Apart from that, top vid. 😊
He went to touring cars from 04 onwards
I guess his accident was in CART, after his Formula 1 career had finished, so not really forgotten but omitted. Maybe he would have got a second chance in Formula 1, who knows, but the number of drivers that have had a second go at Formula 1 is rather small indeed.
I’ve done videos on Zanardi already so nothing was forgotten.
@@AidanMillward You will be aware that Zanardi returned to the Lauzitzring the following year and completed his remaining laps in a CART racing car adapted with hand controls. Everyone expected him to drive around at a leisurely pace just for show but he didn't, he went for it. His pace was such that if he was actually competing he would have been fourth on the grid for the race.
@AidanMillward Fair enough. I thought he might of got an honourable mention though.
I think now the one injury that will end careers is concussions, in NASCAR concussions ended Dale Earnhardt Jr's career, concussions ended Kurt Busch's career during his first season at 23XI Racing (which might have benefited the team as it allowed Ty Gibbs to get experience in a cup car before moving up full-time at his grandfather's team, and Bubba Wallace won driving Kurt's car at Kansas). Also Helmut Marko's injury sounds similar to Felipe Massa's injury in Hungary in 2009
Philippe steriff is a good one crashed on a test session before the 1989 Brazilian go
Streiff was actually the first driver I thought of, when I saw the title.
I think he had the most horrific fate following his accident as he was left paralysed and couldn't move at all for the rest of his life.
He was impressiv with the AGS during the 1988 season with the highlight being a fourth place at Canada, before something broke on the car.
The phrase "Thanks to Sid Watkins, he survived" crops up FAR too often in F1 videos.
So long as it's not a list that EVERYONE has done a billion times. Like the '10 banned cars' list that always has the brabham fan car and 6 wheel tyrrell.
Def weirdest "JJ" ever. Like his surname is theother J, Jyrki Järvilehto. And we call him either JJ (in english) lehto, or Jyrki Järvi Lehto. And järvi means a lake, so figure this guy has a middle name called "lake".
His full name is Jyrki Juhani Järvilehto, Juhani sadly not meaning "lake". It is a beautiful name though, but should've been JJJ Lehto just to confuse journos. :)
@@yoink781 Oh nice, but yea the pundits on tv was like Jay Jay Lehto, or Jyrki Järvi Lehto. But yea, that'd be Jay Jay Jay Lehto :D
NASCAR had a guy named Lake: Lake Speed. And even though you might think he was just some random NASCAR redneck, he did beat Ayrton Senna to win the World Carting championship when they were teenagers. But he had to race NASCAR because Formula One wasn't going to take no guy from Mississippi into their ranks.
I actually saw the video of Laffite's commentary for that race up on TH-cam - it's brilliant if you understand French. "What a prick! Oh shit no. What a shame, what a shame! ....If you look at the image, he turns left and pisses himself thinking 'shit he's doubled up on me." Seeing his daughter Margot on Canal+ presenting the F1 I feel is a nice touch but that's just me.
Didier Pironi
I remember that accident, and it's the first clear memory of F1 I have.
Jacques Lafitte is also know for having been in the best Ferrari F40 LM video ever put to film.
Great topic and info.
But, showing lengthy text to read while you are talking...too much info.
Either show pictures while you talk, or, read the text you've put on screen.
Make it easy for your viewers to get all the info you've researched.
That Marlboro McLaren-Mercedes livery on an early 00s car looks pretty good. 🙂
I'm not convinced Lehto and Verstappen were as bad as Benetton made them look, there had to be something else, but I don't think it was because they had a technically worse car than Schumacher either. Probably the team didn't invest as much time in the 2nd car as they could have when they realised they could win the championship by focusing only on the 1st one. I think this even started in 1993.
Having a good car isn't sufficient to get good results (just look at series with spec cars), you also need the race engineers to know their stuff and get along well with the driver. For example from 2007 to 2009 the Toro Rosso was a copy of the current year Red Bull but they weren't as good (except Vettel in 2008). Same with Ligier in 1995.
This was actually one of the reasons Herbert left as he felt that Benetton at the time was essentially a one man operation and the 2nd car was consistently an afterthought
very good explanation. For me aidan makes it look in the video, that the 2nd car was so bad because it was "legal" while Michaels wasnt. And that is simply not true in my opinon.
Great video and it was quite a job paring it down to the four when you look at the honorable mentions. The Marko situation in 1972 was the death blow to Clermont Ferrand as a Formula 1 race venue. Jackie Stewart and other drivers were already concerned and has brought up the issue of rocks and stones on the track ( it was built on the side of a volcanic mountain), plus inadequate, more like non existent, run off areas.
I love the fact you do refrences that some wont get but i do. Adam from whatculture and JBL beating up Blue Meanie for realsies
Great video as always Mr Millward. Still hoping a Kubica related video pops up, would be very cool
i may be wrong (and regret it tbh) but have you done a video on justin wilson? a bit of a odd career i my eyes, blighted by injury and being a giant taken from us as he was hitting his prime.
I’ve done Wheldon but not Wilson
Your Adam Blampied impersonation was spot on, except he's long gone from Whatculuture, and is now with PartsFunUnknown. Unless that was on purpose.
And Wrestletalk.
I can't remember the last time I watched a video from OSWhatCultaholicPartsFunlamia.
Thank you for having and creating this channel, it's a gem in a jungle full garbage. The way you tell the stories is in my eyes a tribute to good journalism and exelent researsh. Your story telling is verry understandable and good to follow, even for viewers that not all familiar with F1 and motor sport history. Story telling with actual facts instead of assumptions and uneducated opinions.
I discoverd your channel a few weeks back now, and it's has been an delicht to lissen to every story so far. And with this I want to thank you for all effort you put in the stories you tell, with exelent researsh.
I hope you make a story about Jos Verstappen (mabey you did , and i havend watch it yet) and what the hell all went on behind the screens that killed his F1 career. He was as good behind the wheel as Schumacher at the time. My knowledge about what hold his f1 career back was through behind the screens politics. and the dislike form the padock towards his manager (Huub Rothengattert) at the time. Somehow the whole F1 padock had a problem and dislike towards him. The reason for that is not realy clear to me, mabey you can shine a light on that in a story.
Thank you from a captivated fan of your channel.
Here's JJ speaking about Schumacher's 1994 Benetton car and whether it was illegal or not. I don't think I can post a link but it's Iltalehti article with the headline: "Huijasiko Michael Schumacherin talli maailmanmestaruuden? Jyrki Järvilehto näki Monacossa oudon yksityiskohdan: ”Jotakin koodia se veteli”" So anyone can check the context.
It is a video and it's in Finnish. At 4:49 the reporter asks a direct question. "After 26 years, now you can speak your mind. Did it have traction control?" JJ: "I don't know. But one thing I do remember - In Monaco, I once saw how Schumi punched some code with his steering wheel, I wondered at the time, what exactly is that about."
I just arrived here, but have there been any videos about drivers who suffered major injuries and actually come back as strong? I'm thinking of Filipe Massa in F1 and Ernie Irvin in NASCAR. Irvin suffered catastrophic injuries in a crash and was given a ten percent chance of living through the night. He lived and actually came back to race in the series as a competitive driver. Alex Zanardi lost his legs in a CART car and came back as a touring car and sports car racer, in addition to a world class hand cyclist. That's just a few. Is there a video or have I suggested something too late again?
Nikki Lauda??
@@mrkipling2201 Yep
Not a F1 accident, but Gary Bettenhausen is a pretty interesting case of getting an injury where you'd think it would be career ending -- he was involved in an accident that normally would be career ending, but he kept on driving for 20 years or so after his forearm (but not his hand, I don't know how that stuff works) was paralyzed in 1974. Was the fastest qualifier (but not the pole sitter, because the Indy 500 starting order was set by speed, and by day) for the Indy 500 in 1991.
Laffitte is behind the wheel of the Marta V12 onboard at Monza that you can find here on TH-cam. Pretty hairy stuff considering that their feet were ahead of the front wheels.
During and after his racing career, JJ Lehto also commentated regularly on F1 broadcasts on Finnish TV. This career was cut short with his boating accident in 2010.
As a fan of wrestling lists, the whatculture gag before the meat of the video got a chuckle out of me
Uhm, who got the "Option 13" Benetton at Monza and Estoril then? Come on man... Accept the fact MSC was miles better than both JJ and Jos, especially in driving a car tailored on his peculiar driving style.
good call to whatculture wrestling. that was funny, they're good folk
karl wendlinger and johnny herbert are arguably the most talented drivers of all time (along with bellof, villeneuve, schumi, senna, and clark) , such a shame they didnt meet their full potential
It's always better to say "of their time", I think (I'm not arguing over the names!). The cars change so much that someone from the 50s, maybe even from the 70s, transported to today, even while at their career & fitness peak, quite probably couldn't handle the cars (especially the G Forces). Having said that, I don't think anyone from today could go back in time and drive those cars to the same standards of the top drivers. Those cockpits had to be huge just to fit the drivers' balls in!
None of this is to diss any driver at all! They can only drive the cars they're given. I was a big Herbert fan back in the day (cried my eyes out when he got that last win. I knew he'd never do it again because of how things were going. Mind, I shed a few for Badoer in the Minardi. Soooo close!) I just have a natural aversion to comparing someone who drove cars built to one or two sets of rules to someone else whose cars are significantly different.
Imagine Fangio trying to do a Fernando - racing (often in "combat") his (compared to Fangio's) enormous, extremely heavy Aston, whilst changing heaven only knows how many settings on his steering wheel, while checking up on Stroll whenever he gets to see the big screen! But then would Fred drive for the 4 hours or more that some old GPs lasted, in driving rain or extreme heat, with no seatbelts and only the occasional highly-flammable straw bails as "protection"? I'm not impugning his courage, but today's drivers are - generally - more safety conscious!
Anyway, don't take this as me disagreeing with you per se, just giving my perspective. :)
Johnny Herbert was one of the great what could have beens of modern F1, what he might have done had it not been for his injuries. 3rd on his F1 debut in a Benetton was astonishing... Many great drives later, but we never got to see the real Johnny.
Might of helped if ron dennis and frank williams had faith and signed him to drive for their teams
You Really do sound like Adam from whatculture 😂😂
There was a driver who had a fairly nasty accident with bad facial injuries. But there seemed to be no reason why he couldn't come back. But he didn't. Why? Well, it's our new friend, the deviated septum. He just couldn't breathe easily in the helmets, and went into rallying where he could breathe free. Later, an operation restored full breathing, but he found full face helmets very claustrophobic. So, no dice. But I can't for the life of me remember his name! Anybody know?
I think a lot of accidents were under played. Alesis back injury, he was temporarily paralysed. Pedro lamy accident was horrific, zontas car vaulted the fence at silverstone. I still don’t know how pedro Diniz got away with his accident
It's amazing that there weren't more deaths in F1.
I mean, they raced without seatbelts until 1972 for goodness sake !
I feel like we would have been real good friends had we grown up together. Racing, sim racing, rastlin, music, aviation. Cut from the same cloth.
Whatculture is basically Simon Miller and a few others i don't know.
Having raced in one of the most dangerous eras if F1 and in the Targa fudging Florio, Dr Marko got incredibly lucky to just lose an eye.
Plus , I do think donnelly's accident is the worst ive seen in 40+ years of watching F1 where someone didnt die . If that mskez sense .
That Monaco shunt for Wendlinger ended his career
Love that wrestling drop in a F1 video
5:49 - Please take a moment and admire that title.
I was at brands watching when laffite crashed . Those three 4th places in the championship, it was ligiers failure to develop the car during those seasons that sent him from championship domination early on tumbling diwn the order as the others caught up.
Any other youtuber that yook so long to get into the video, I would gripe about it. Your music us wonderful, though.
I absolutely died of laughter with that blue meanie reference.
And who is Malcolm Tucker?
Wow a Blue Meanie mention….Worked him in 2005 and what a damn sweet heart
Think about all the legends that we lost because of some ahole wanted to earn his dollar from the drivers penny
Other ones that could have been on the list are Karl Wendlinger, Alesaandro Nannini, Didier Pironi or Robert Kubica
The same drivers named right at the end?
3:22 love how lots of people take every chance they can get to roast Jos Verstappen. He deserves it.
Can you talk about Simon McKinley?
JJ was also, somewhat sadly, one of the many many roster of drivers Carl Hogan put out there too, along with....Franchitti, some kid named Helio Castro-Neves and some bald guy named Bobby Rahal too before that team split.
Carl Hogan was someone who had a nice idea, nice looking cars (that 96 entry driven by Emmo till Michigan and then Jan Magnussen and company), 97 was a looker and when he wasn't spinning, or crashing, Dario was bloody quick, then went sod off I'm not racing at Fontana, so Robby Gordon got put in the car. I still say to this day that 97 Hogan livery is clean, simple, beautiful and would foreshadow the 2002 Team Green livery on, yes, Franchitti's car in a way.
98 and 99, both good lookers but nah, the performance was not there consistently despite JJ having a few good runs and quite a few good finishes. Hogan had given up in 98/99
Rahal was already an Indy 500 winner before he teamed with Hogan, and had two CART championships. The two of them bought Pat Patrick's bankrupt team that had run Alfa Romeo engines (there's a story for you), and Rahal won his third championship that year. They'd split after the 1995 season, with Rahal retiring three years later and then getting some guy from Indiana named David Letterman as a partner
Not reading name of Daniil Kvyat 🇷🇺 because he is Russian, is so racist. 👎👎
No it isn’t. His name wasn’t read because it wasn’t on the original script but I put it in after to avoid the inevitable “you forgot Dani Kvyat”
I always like Lafitte. I mean, how many can say they are the direct descendant of a pirate?
Hello Aidan: This was really good. I thought the "still alive" particularly touching. Have a good day.
I know people like it. Better to live as who they are than not be around at all.
BROCKY
dead set legend. A bit insane but a dead set legend. Met him twice. Was a hero of mine.
I'm just going to ignore the whole go faster crystals thing...
David Purley? -U10
That is a spectacular eBay buy 👍👍
Good one what culture is awkward
Adam from what culture 😂
9:09 ahhhh it’s Darth Taurus!
Moss and Nannini were racers that had a good chance of being world championship Latto never impressed me
Lehto was a level above Nannini.
"I'm Adam from WhatCulture"
*Mind goes haywire for a moment*
Whatculture intro got me
I see Jacques Laffite, I press like.
Johnny Herbert!?
I’ll throw one in that I don’t think anyone has mentioned, Marc Surer. Broke (or rather shattered) both his legs in a crash at Kyalami a handful of races into his debut F1 season after some impressive drives in his Brabham. After 18 months of rehabilitation he made it back into an F1 car only to suffer a second double leg breaking crash……unbelievably, at Kyalami again. That was the end of F1 for him but not the end of his racing career. To add a bit of weight to the saying “bad luck comes in threes”, whilst dabbling at Rallying in a Group B Lancia Delta S4 Marc lost the car and suffered an accident that tragically took the life of his co-driver. Much like a lot of the other drivers mentioned, Marc continued to compete successfully at the highest level of both Touring and Sports Car series, most notably for BMW. He is now the ‘Martin Brundle’ of the F1 coverage on Swiss TV!

Sir Frank Williams and Alex Zinardi would like to have a word as to why they've been neglected
I think Alex Zanardi would have been good to cover. That crash was pretty rough
Nicely done!
Max wasn’t really a red bull junior
Dads connections junior.
I genuinely cringe at the fact I used to watch watchmojo. It's so so bad, now at least
That’s the problem with these daily list channels. It’s bottom of the barrel from day one.

That rock would have ended Crapmocker's career had he not gave up on the amazing return.
