Their deaths are NOT in vain. Thank you for producing this. Your love for F1 and your sensitivity to its content SHINES through.

The death of Roger Williamson, to probably nobody's surprise, is the one I find hardest to handle emotionally. With most of the others, they were killed or at least knocked unconscious instantly. But the mere thought of what both Williamson and Purley must have gone through that day breaks me everytime I hear or see it. Jo Schlesser was a familiar name, but I never bothered to look up his story. As soon as you said 'magnesium-coated skin' I went 'Oh, f*ck, let me guess, fiery accident, and WATER extinguishers' ... I've never hated to be right so much. Hearing about his post-humous 'involvement' in Ligier was very touching, especially that they honour him to this day. Knowing what horrific accidents are left to cover, I'm not sure whether I'll be able to sit through Episode 3, tbh - but this, and Episode 1, was outstanding work of you, good Sir. What a wonderful, tasteful tribute to those mad lads.

As a former pit lane marshal and starter, start line accidents are your absolute nightmare. You are always hypervigilant and often too ready to put out the yellow flags or turn on the yellow lights. I recall a very early race when a car stalled right in front of my pitlane position and I virtually climbed onto the pit wall to get my yellow flag out to warn following drivers almost immediately. Thankfully everyone avoided the stalled car. I never truly realised how important it was until the starter came down to thank me, the chief pit lane marshal did the same and even race control did so. That day no one had an accident, no one had a damaged car and we all went home happy. To this day if I watch motor racing on TV, my senses tighten up until everyone is away safely. Seeing Paletti's accident, which was just horrendous, brought back all those memories.

Today it would be a safety car or red flag but still the race would continue after the accident scene was clear. It's been for a while now (since 70s or 80s) that "driver shall never be in a life threatening state or die on track" because in the past it has caused fans to follow the ambulance. In a case for Nascar or Indie, it ended up blocking the ambulance from leaving resulting in a death that could've been prevented. We're not much better now, just the FIA (or what ever governing body of the race you're watching) hides it from you until the race is over. That being said, it's not stopping you from assuming based off of forces / cause of injury(s).

For many reasons the footage from that incident looks really unreal, reminiscent of some intentionally low quality creepy content I have seen. I would not need to mention how it looks like the poor marshall is cut in half and held together by intestines, but the other angle concentrating on Zorzi is honestly even weirder. Zorzi's car makes that odd, sudden flammation, he acts like a cartoon character until marshalls arrive and then we see bits and pieces of a person flying casually through the screen. Finally, they seem not to react properly to the incident and kind of forget it in a second. They must have seen immediately that absolutely nothing is to the done and it's better to make sure Zorzi's car doesn't go up in flames. Or they simply could not understand what just happened. Also, doesn't help that the version with an added sound effect on impact is quite common. I first saw the clip in 2006 (I think) and could not find it for a while afterwards, which made me think I had imagined the whole thing.

The Tom Pryce accident hits hard. My father and uncle had been marshals there for a decade, the last 2 years they were the guys in the asbestos suits on the fire truck. They quit in 1976 due to the woeful state of their equipment and the poor treatment they received when they tried to get that addressed. Then I discovered a few years ago that the 2 marshals that ran across the track were in fact brothers. The older brother was unaware his brother had followed him and until the roll call after the race had been confident his brother was still safely over on the other side at their marshalling station. A tragedy in itself.

Finnish broadcast of Imola 1994 had Keke Rosberg as a commentator. He's usually calm and collected, but during the Alboreto pit incident he clearly thought the situation was even worse than it was, stating immediately that someone must lost control of his car and veered straight at the pit crews at high speed. He was livid and furious, stating that he had worked years to convince FIA to impose speed limits at the pitlane for he knew that it was only a matter of time before incident like Alboreto's

I've gotten into F1 at the beginning of last year and lately I've gotten interested in the history of the sport. So I was already aware of most of these crashes but reading a Wikipedia article is not the same as seeing it in context. I firmly think that to avoid repeating the many mistakes made in the past which took so many lives we shouldn't forget those mistakes and that's why I watch videos like this. Thank you for the respect shown to the drivers who share with us their joy doing what they love, for remembering the marshals who always risk their lives and the fans who shouldn't have died. Also, my personal reason for feeling sad for their deaths (apart from the reasons you mentioned) is because in most of these cases they were so senseless, so negligent. The fact that if the organizers had shown a bit more concern these guys may still be with us is the thing that always hits me the worst. Another example is also the case of De Angelis that you mentioned during the video and was very similar to Williamson's: car flew, turned upside down, caught fire. But this was 1986 and had his crash been during a race weekend the story would have been very different because they were better equipped during races, but since it was a test outside a race weekend the marshalls vere very few men, they had no equipment, they were in *shorts* while the car burned and it was the drivers and mechanics trying and failing to save him. There was also no medical helicopter. He "only" had light burns and I think a collarbone fracture and nothing else by the time the fire was out, but he died of asphyxiation and smoke inhalation similar to Williamson. I think after this, drivers threatened to boycott unless it became mandatory for tests to have full preparation and so it became mandatory from then on, but another life was lost to negligence. Even the Villeneuve crash that could be seen as mostly bad luck, was predictable. Those ground effect cars went airborne at the smallest crash and by then the driver was a passenger. I think Pironi ironically as head of the GPDA had warned before many times that that could happen... And then he went on to have a similar crash himself that he luckily survived, although with horrible injuries. That's why it makes my blood boil when I see fans or even drivers criticize others for asking for more safety today, since I'd rather avoid the mandatory avoidable death if possible before finally taking measures when a potential problem arises. I prefer a million times to watch a boring race or to have it stopped than to watch one of the drivers that I've come to care for, die. Also thank you for the ending showing us some of their happy moments. It was nice to end it in a happier note and to see some of their personality shine through.

I started watching in 1979 as a ten year old. It is well worth going right back to the early 30s and the early car manufacturers, the Acari’s, Nuvolari (the old man Ferrari’s favourite driver) I kept scrapbooks for many years, met Senna and Ratzenberger got their autographs I have many highs and lows to share. I started off liking Nelson Piquet and I still love to see him with Max Verstappen, his sense of humour and attempts of psychological warfare, means his reputation has suffered but it should not have done. Read about how he won his first Championship in 1981 in Las Vegas although only finished 5th in race due to exhaustion, sickness and he had to be lifted out the car. There is no real substitute for living through those years because you cannot put the mindset of the current climate on events of the past so different. Elio De Angelis was areal gentleman and very talented Pianist he was one of the nicest drivers of the era. I could not believe the news when he died I have all the newspaper clippings and it had only been eleven months since two F1 drivers had been killed in the WEC Stefan Bellof and Manfred Winklehock, I had met both at the British GP in 1985. De Angelis was Senna’s teammate at Lotus and I was gutted that despite meeting Ayrton twice that weekend I never got to meet Elio. My brothers hero was Gilles Villeneuve and the new Sky documentary filled in a lot of the gaps we didn’t know about especially just how ruthless Didier Pironi was and how he didn’t even invite him to his wedding. His wife had told him not to trust him but Gilles was too trusting I have thousand stories that could only really been understood by those who were passionate about it at the time. The early press on Ayrton Senna was cruel and he was a victim of his own self belief, which he proved he was as good as he said he was but some of them are comedic and I have all those articles and jokes. Please continue to look back because the biggest problem of people making comments on F1 sites is few know anything beyond Lewis Hamilton, few die hard Senna fans. I like coming across the fans who got to see the late 60s and early 70s it was crazy! I know it’s old fashioned but books are the best source I have loads. Reading Jackie Stewart’s book at the moment!!

The fact that he raced in 1980 angered Enzo Ferrari to no end, worried his best driver would injure himself in the F1 Off season.Brother Jacques continued to race snowmobiles right up to the 2014 season and was a World Champion.

Absolute masterpiece of a documentary. I appreciate the respect given to the drivers, fans and marshals involved in these tragic crashes. Your commentary and editing is also excellent. I'd like to add something about Senna's fatal crash that makes it even more soul-crushing: Back in 1992, Érik Comas had suffered a violent crash during the Belgian GP on Friday practice. He was knocked unconscious, with his foot slammed down on the throttle. Senna arrived at the scene of the crash, stopped his car trackside and rushed to cut off the engine of Comas's car. Comas later said that Senna's action saved his life, as the car was at risk of catching fire. During the 1994 San Marino GP, Comas was sent back out on the track during the red flag period, due to a miscommunication with his team. He arrived at race speed near Tamburello, where marshals, medics, safety vehicles and a helicopter were stationed, attending to Senna's aid. Comas just barely managed to slow down and avoided crashing into any one of these. But he saw the scene of medics tending to Senna's fatal injuries. Érik Comas saw the hero who had saved his life nearly two years prior, mortally wounded. His own hero, taken away. Afterwards, Comas retired from the race, deeply traumatized by the incident, and quit Formula 1 at the end of the season.

The ragers refuse to understand there was a damn good reason for that, Rolands funeral was held the same day as Aryton's. Max Mosely was the SOLE Formula 1 representative at Rolands funeral.

Agreed, Italian law was such, that if Roland Ratzenberger had been declared deceased at the track, which he unfortunately was, then the race would have been cancelled. Typically back then, money took precedence over safety. I've been watching F1 since 1984, and San Marino was always known as a track that could bite drivers on the bum if they made a mistake, or their car failed. I saw Piquet, Berger, Alboreto and Patrese have bad crashes at Tamburello in the years before the 1994 GP. It was a notoriously fast corner, that wasn't actually that hard. The proximity of the wall made it more dangerous.

This was beautifully done. You evoked both the senselessness of their deaths and the joy of their lives in a way it's hard to describe. As someone who isn't a Formula One fan, I feel like your work here has given me a glimpse into that world in all its excitement and its sorrow. As horrible as it is to loose them, I'm glad they got to do what they loved, and that their memory continues in the hearts of their family, friends, and fans worldwide. I sincerely hope you continue to produce amazing content like this!

The final segment of this particular video was very touching - I've seen plenty of compilation videos of fatal racing accidents including those in F1 but you made this one in a way that also pays tribute to them

Thank you for this documentary. It helped highlight some of F1’s darkest moments, but also shined a light on its brighter ones, too.

I can't give you enough praise for the way you made this. Respectful and concise. I've been a fan since I was a little boy of 5 years old. That was 48 years ago now. I've been so blessed to see heroes race heroes, for so many years. You showed the will to race is more powerful than the fear of death. Sometimes that's the price they pay. Those that we lost will always be remembered as the true heroes of the sport and we owe a debt of gratitiute to those who strove to make racing safer for drivers and spectators alike. Thank you for your work in making these documetaries. Subbed and liked. Looking forward to part 3! They lived and raced so we could admire their skill and bravery and we still do. May F1 carry on long after I'm gone and continue to excite and amaze new fans in every session of every race weekend. RIP Legends.

This (and Part 1) is such a beautifully thoughtful and well put together documentary thank you so much for doing it. I grew up as a massive F1 fan in the mid to late 80s and witnessed a lot of these crashes live on TV watching F1 on a sunday with my dad. I know there are so many names included here but I cannot help but burst into tears any time I see anything involving Senna's crash in 1994. He was such a huge character of the period of F1 that I witnessed and was the first driver I saw killed in a race on TV. I am, amongst many who maybe dont watch F1 any longer as I dont find it as appealing as back in the 80s and early 90s, but I am glad that drivers have so much more protection nowadays.

Simply one of the most moving and well-produced videos I’ve ever seen on KZfaq. Good enough for TV with a bit more production value. And a fitting tribute to all those brave souls.

I can tell that making this video hurt you. your voice wavered a few times throughout. You did an absolutely sensational job!

Both parts of this series are fantastically produced, and this one especially, done with respect for the lives lost. Thank you for your work.

Absolutely outstanding documentary. This was one of the most professional and well put together videos I’ve ever seen. The respect and emotion that you show was phenomenal in both episodes. I look forward to the third one and thank you for sharing/ creating these videos , they deserve an award

Wow, just wow! The respect, editing and the narrative, you my friend, have done all of these drivers proud by this amazing documentary. RIP to them all through the video, missed but never forgotten! ❤️

Well done on this mini series documentary. I’ve already seen most footage and known about all these tragedies, but you’d did a wonderful job telling and showing everything. It saddens me that anyone doing what they love has lost their lives doing so, and you did a justice of memories with this documentary. Especially the ending, which I’m sure we can all appreciate after watching such a tragic event one after the other. May everyone affected by these terrible fates lay to rest and find peace elsewhere

Worth mentioning is in monaco 2 weeks after the Imola GP, Karl Wendlinger had a big crash after the tunnel where he crashed into the barrier sticking out that is put up behind a tree back then there. (The barrier there is much further back now). He went into a 2 weeks choma and the possibility was high that another driver (and Austrian) would have been killed just 2 weeks after the horrible san marino gp weekend

It's quite obvious how much hard work you did on this. Probably the best on F1 fatal crashes that I have seen. I for one appreciate what you've done here and look forward to more.

If FOM ever takes your videos down, it has to be known that this is the most respectful, human, and comprehensive summary of the days when our sport pains us the most. Thank you.

Amazing videos, both of them. You're editing, voiceover, everything is top notch. I knew about most of these incidents, but several I'd never heard of. Fantastic work giving these men the fitting respect they deserve, pushing the limits of humanity and technology. To touch on a line from your video: I think we're sad for these men because they all were so happy to be competing in F1. At least that's the case for me. They were literally torn from this world doing what they loved and were passionate about. So few get to experience that level of contentment, it's tragic to see that ended.

Beautifully and sensitively made, it brought a tear to the eye. The trauma of being a 'rival' driver and then trying to save your friend and failing is horrendous. Bless you all.

Took me 3 sittings to make it through this episode of your documentary. Very sad, but very well done. Excellent job on your presentation, editing and narration - for this entire documentary. ty

I've watched this video over the past two days. While the subject itself is incredibly sad, you portrayed all of it with such respect to all parties involved. This video brings a whole new perspective to the sport and reminds all of us why we love the sport, and why we can hate it. Fantastic work, this is extremely high quality stuff that could be streamed for money. Thank you for making such great content for us to view for free.

This, and part 1 of course, are among the best documentaries I've ever watched. It's seriously impressive work, and you got me choked up multiple times.
